So the answer for me is to use 'term' mode. Login as root, type 'ppp'. It will launch ppp. You'll need to 'set device /dev/cuaaX' (X=your sio port where your modem lives). Then, 'set speed xxxxx'. Now, enter 'term' mode by typing 'term'. This lets you manually command your modem using its console interface (for most, Hayes commands). Enter 'atdtyour_ISP_phone number. Yes, its a pain, but it works. This is what I have to do also. Paul E-Mail: wb2oyc@cyberenet.net Date: 10/13/96 Time: 11:47:15 This message was sent by XF-Mail ----------------------------------
