Dear FreeBSD Questions, This is beginning to hurt. I've set up a FreeBSD 3.1 system to dial into the Internet for me. Next to it is an NT box with the same purpose. They have identical modems (Courier I, ISDN modems). When I dial on the NT box it takes six seconds from [Ok] to *beep*--I'm in. Hanging up takes three seconds, from [yes] to *beep*--I'm gone. These times don't vary much even if I connect and disconnect a few times in a row. After a clean reboot the FreeBSD box (starting up ppp -auto uunet from the rc.local file) will also connect in the same six seconds. Disconnecting happens even faster than on the NT box. However, this is when it goes wrong. Reconnecting takes minutes, literally. Even in interactive mode I see the same problem: I dial in after a reboot: I'm in. "down; dial" causes an expect timeout on the string "CONNECT", and I cannot get a successful dial for minutes. Terminal mode just freezes when I enter it after going down. I have the feeling the modem needs to be reset after going down. However, I don't know what to do and where. Adding ATZ's and ATH's to the dial string seems to have no effect. Does anyone know what I am missing? Thanks for your input. Kees Jan PS. Please CC me, as I'm not on the mailing list. PPS.
