I recently inherited a server running free-bsd 3.1 that runs a small dial in pool of modems. The modems are US Robotics 33.6 and are attached to a cyclades unit. The problem is that the modems constantly drop out of autoanswer. I want to create a crontab to call a shell script that will just send an AT command to the modems every 10 minutes to reset them. My problem is that I am not quite sure how to send a direct command to a modem in a shell script. I have researched this pretty carefully in the FreeBSD book and some other Unix texts that I have and I can't seem to find anything more than general ppp documentation so I hope I am not missing anything obvious here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, -Ryan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
