[quote] It looks to me like you need to take a problem isolation approach to solving this. First be sure that your system can talk to the modem. Add a line like the following to /etc/remote; cuaa1c|cua1c:dv=/dev/cuaa1:br#9600:pa=none: then use tip to see if it works you can drive the session manually: $tip cuaa1c at OK atdt555555 CONNECT 2400 ~. If you get this far then you can start working with the ppp program. Work through the examples in the GETTING STARTED section of the ppp manual page to get ppp to work manually. Once that is working you will have a good idea what changes are necessary to your configuration detail. [unquote] Point: I did exactly as suggested above, i.e. : root@root# tip cuaa1c root@root# unknown host I doubled checked /etc/remote 10 times and nothing changed ;^) -- no typos; everything as suggested above. What did I miss or not seeing? Do I have to tweak /etc/host? Tia.... -duke To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
