As in, the cable that connects the modem to the computer? I'd seriously doubt this would cause the problem. Anyhow, all the cabling is tight and screwed in. The modem works flawlessly under Windows. What I was actually after was the series of "set" commands that you would reccomend. If you'd like some more information that may be of some help: ISP Information: o NameServer 1 : 139.134.2.2 o NameServer 2 : 139.134.2.18 o Gateway : 139.134.39.2 I read all of the applicable information the manpages had on PPP, and tried their reccommended settings without success. On a different note, is there anyway to adjust the devices compiled in FreeBSD's kernel? The 2.2.7-RELEASE Kernel Setup crashed/froze whenever I tried to edit *any* of the devices, so now when I boot up FreeBSD spends a heck of a long time searching/probing for device drivers that don't exist. There's also a few device conflicts reported at startup, which could be the cause of the "term" related problem. ie; there's a conflict with the modem port. Finally, is there anyway to probe the /dev/cuaa* devices to see if a modem can be found the other end? I currently have no idea as to the COM port it would be occupying in FreeBSD's kernel.
