I have two <.> 28k8 modems to do this. <.> But how do I configure them?? I can't dial a number and put the other one in <.> auto answer as with a normal telefone line. How must I configure the modems <.> to let them connect to each other and re-connect automaticly when the <.> connection was lost? <.> <.> Thanks, you've all been a great help installing FreeBSD (for the last 6 weeks) <.> <.> Using modems on leased lines is not as simple as plugging in the line. There are electrical differences besides the lack of dial-tone and ringing. It appears that the run-of-the-mill modems are not readily prepared to connect over leased lines. Check the manual carefully (sometimes the only reference to leased lines is a single sentence) and consult with the manufacturer. good luck dayton
