I've tried to correctly modify the /etc/remote, /etc/phones & /etc/modems files, but still have yet to get a dial tone. I'm using a USR Sportster 14.4 V.42 Luckily, the sportster is listed in one of the /etc files. My /dev files include cuaa[0-3]. There are no /dev/com? files there, as listed in some of the faq's. Also. I've tried to make a /dev/modem symbolic link to /dev/cuaa3, but in kermit, when I "set line /dev/cuaa3" or "set line /dev/modem" I get ".. Device not configured". "set line /dev/cuaa0" does allow kermit to attempt dialing, of course that won't get me a dial tone. My com port in DOS (my only working connection) is com4. I've also looked in the /etc/uucp directory, changed a few things there, but no luck. Does anyone here have any suggestions on the configuration of the comm programs? I'm certainly willing to learn how to use kermit, it looks like fun. That said, does minicom run on FreeBSD? I haven't seen it at the distribution sites. Thanks Barry Masterson jbarrm@panix.com
