(cuaa0 = COM1, cuaa1 = COM2)". This tells me that this is a simple text document that was written as an example to modify. So, what is the true way to make for sure what device the modem is using and how to configure them to work properly. Is there a dmesg like thing that I can do to make for sure that what I am looking at is really what the computer is using as a modem. Maybe I am wrong here I dont know but this is what I was thinking in this situation. Am I wrong? Should I just assume that the ppp.conf is correct in saying that cuaa1 is the modem? Or, should I think that cuaa1 might be the seial port that my mouse is using. If so then how does one configure this device because right now the cuaa1 is configured for 1200 baud? Lots of questions here. Thank You guys so much for replying to my question. I am reading about this to, so, dont think that I am lazily sitting back waiting for you to answer my questions, but your help is much appreciated!
