I did a #stty -f /dev/cuaa1 -a and it tells me that it is set for 1200. Then when I try to set up cuaa1 for a modem through KDE, it freezes on me. I then get it to go back to my default shell and I do the stty command again and it tells me that it is set for 38400 now that the mouse daemon is killed. I try to go back in to X and I cant figure out how to get around with out a mouse. None of the MicroShaft hotkeys work here. So I reboot and I remember that I can check to see what process I am using for the mouse and Low and Behold I am using cuaa1(moused -p /dev/cuaa1 -t auto). > > > So, now: if your modem is external, what is it connected to?

My dmesg finds 2 serial ports and they seem to be the ones that are on my motherboard(com1 and com2) I am still reading though. I think I am going to read your book on this ppp stuff. Is that the best place to read about to get a modem up and running or is there a different chapter to read that would be better?
