Hi,

I am not sure if this can be treated as a bug. But, i thought i should bring 
this to attention.

FreeBSD 2.2-GAMMA (970225)

Hardware config:
486/66 DX-2, 32M
33.6 USR sportster data/fax modem. (EEPROM/DSP dates: 08/30/96)

There seems to be a timing problem to communicate with the modem from within 
ppp dialer. I have confirmed this by using another modem. When asked to dial 
out, the system would wait forever or hang up. By hang up, i mean 
not-responding to keyboard including "sysreq". I have to resort to hardware 
reset.

I have had the same problem with FreeBSD versions 2.1, 2.1.5

I am sure this is limited to USR sportster 33.6 model. But, with the war of 
high speed modem connectivity, we are going to see more and more of these 
modems.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

--Vijay
