X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 26 Aug 2011 18:34:28 -0000 On the basis of what I now believe was malicious advice, I am out of pocket for a USB US Robotics 56k dialup modem. However, this device attaches as a ugen device. I haven't found a way to make ppp on demand work with it attached that way. I do not load umass because I am using hplip and it must be grabbed by ugen. Otherwise my kernel is generic. However, I would be very surprised that umass is necessary for the modem to attach correctly. So I am asking again: does anyone have a dialup modem of any kind which works correctly on 8.x to provide ppp-on-demand? If so what is it? -- Lars Eighner http://www.larseighner.com/index.html 8800 N IH35 APT 1191 AUSTIN TX 78753-5266
