My ISP has some Ascend modems - known to have buggy CSLIP support. I have FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 and use SLIP (not CSLIP, to my knowledge) to connect. I'm using a Courier V.34, BTW. When I connect to my ISP using the non-Ascend modems, all is well. But, when an Ascend modem answers, the line becomes 'frozen' about ten seconds after I "slattach -h -c -s 57600 /dev/modem". I don't think I'm using CSLIP - how do I check this? (is it the slattach -c flag??) Can I debug my SLIP connection (to see what's happening)? How? Any pointers appreciated. I'm wasting money having to redial until I get a non-Ascend modem. Five pence a shot! :-) Gedge -- "Gedge" = Geraint A.
