Please check: 1) /etc/ppp/config modem crtscts netmask 0xfffffffe 2) make sure your modem is doing cts-rts flow control (see the modem doc) 3) issue the command "comcontrol /dev/ttydxx drainwait 10" at machine startup. The modem hungs because the output buffer is full and the OS is waiting to "pull" data to it and the modem signal "not ready" to the OS. Putting a command comcontrol with drainwait 10 tells the OS a timeout of 10 seconds. Hope this will help Sergio Lenzi. Unix consult.
