Okay, I haven't used ppp in over a year now. Since then I've been using cablemodems and DSL. Over the last year or so, I've pretty much forgotten how to set things up. I've done it before, and it wasn't so hard but now I have a modem problem. Okay, here's the deal. I have FreeBSD 4.0 Release. I have a Hayes exeternal modem (28.8) connected to serial port com1. I'm not an external modem wiz. Anyways, I know it works because last night I got it to dial although not today. Anyways, I type ppp then I 'set device /dev/cuaa0' then I 'set speed 38400' then I type 'term'. After that it just locks up. I can't type at or atz or anything expect for the ~? and stuff like that. (last night I was able to) Why? I don't know. How can I check the modem using another peice of software? How can I reset the modem by using software? Would it make a difference if turn the modem of and on to reset it? It worked last night, I'm sure it can work again.
