That's probably because you need to set the baud rate higher... High speed modems don't quite work the way you'd expect them to. You should configure the port and modem to always use a constant baud rate (usually 38400 or 57600), and you let the modem handle the speed conversion. If you need any help with this, I'd be glad to help. > I relalise that the setting on/off in ttys will need changing before > uucico calls out and a "kill -hup 1". I can handle that with a script. No, you don't really _need_ to do it that way. There's a better way. Set up uucico to dial out on /dev/cua00, and set up your getty to use /dev/ttyd0. FreeBSD has bidirectional port locking, which is enabled by default in FreeBSD 2.x. Check "man sio" for more info on this. > Any ideas on what could be wrong? Do I need a fancy stty command?
