Hello, I have been trying to get ppp to work for quite some time now (about 3 weeks if not more). I have been having problems with ppp since I first tried it. Well anyway, I started out using ppp with a 28.8kbps USR internal modem. This modem worked twice for getting ppp online. It would dial the number and even connect to my isp's server, but then it would hangup for no reason. After numerous times of trying to get this modem to work, I gave up and went out to buy a new one. The new one I bought was a 56k USR external modem. I plugged it all in and when I tried to dial my isp, it told me that the "chat script failed". This is my current problem, getting this new modem to work. I would also like to add that in addition to the fact that it tells me that the chat script has failed, I cannot hear my modem dialing any number, even when I turn the volume all the way up, and also, at the startup, when I use scroll-lock to look at all the devices which have been probed, I cannot find any modem at all. I have even went inside my computer to check if the wires which connected my modems plug to the motherboard were plugged in, they were. I plug my modem into the com1 port (or cuaa0). I dont think there is a problem with my serial wires either. I have a 25pin end connecting to my USR modem and a 9pin end connecting to my computer. I am thinking that maybe the system is just not recognizing my modem but if that is the case, then wouldn't it tell me that the device name cuaa0 is invalid when I go to dial papchap? Please, even if you do not have an answer to my question, can you point me in the right direction to someone who may? I have been so eager to get my freebsd box online and I do not want to see all the money I have paid for modems and the freebsd OS and freebsd books go to waste. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
