This first showed up when I had an internal modem. Oh well, I thought, I've always wanted to own an external anyway, and then I bought an external modem. No help. Here are the symptoms: I can talk to my modem -- send it commands, etc. If I tell it "atdt" it picks up the line. If I tell it to dial, it does. It even hardware- handshakes with my ISP's modem. But I don't get any data back from it. It doesn't even echo my commands. With userland ppp, I get the following output when I do a "show modem": device: /dev/cuaa1 speed: 38400 cs8, no parity, CTS/RTS on. connect count: 0 outq: ioctl probe failed: Interrupted system call outqlen: 0 I've tried switching serial ports -- previously I had my mouse on cuaa1 and my modem on cuaa0. No help. I'm at my wits' end here. I love this machine, I really want to be able to connect using it. Some of you here have used this box in the past when it was narcissus.ml.org. Please help. :-( Ben "You have your mind on computers, it seems."
