Can you help? The problems with ppp in 2.2.5 are mentioned at http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/2.2.5R/errata.html I'd advise trying the latest version (available on http://www.FreeBSD.org/~brian), and also making sure that you have ``normal CD operations'' set on your modem (it should *not* fake carrier detect). > -- > Phil Staub, KE7HC Senior Software Engineer > phils@pixelogix.com Audio Precision, Inc. > or phils@audioprecision.com Beaverton, OR 97075, (800) 231-7350 -- Brian <brian@Awfulhak.org>, <brian@FreeBSD.org>, <brian@OpenBSD.org> <http://www.Awfulhak.org>; Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
