There's an entry in the FAQ on the web site, I think it's http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/FAQ151.html#151 that deals with setting up a dialin. There's a link off it the tells you how to set things up to send AT command directly to the modem. It contains the codes to set autoanswer, and you can just run ppp as the getty on that port in /etc/getty. I think. One problem I had is that my modem's non-standard, so I don't know the command to write the current config to the firmware, so I have to re-send the AT commands every time I bootup. The normal line is at&c1&d3&k3&q6 s0=1 &w the &w normall writes the config to the modem firmware, but mine doesn't so I have to take off those last 2 characters, and redo it every bootup. That's about the only problem I can see that you might have. If anyonw has an idea what my AT sequence to save to firmware is, I'd be grateful. I have a Compaq Presario 9000 series, with a 28.8 modem. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* |FreeBSD is good. FreeBSD is our friend.
