Hi people, Here's a weird one - whenever I try to access my serial ports with ppp (ie, open up ppp, try to do a term, or get it to dial with ppp -auto) it crashes my entire machine. Everything locks up completely, and forever (well, I left it an hour...) Can't change vty, won't catch a three finger salute, nothing. I've mucked around with rc.serial (looks OK). Only thing is when it boots it tells me si0 is an 8250, when I know for a fact it is a 16550A (at least), though I have set the speed down to 2400 in ppp.conf and that doesn't seem to change matters. (It's an external modem - a USR V.90). Any and all clues will be gratefully recieved! (chocolate sent to the best answer :) Take Care, Anton "WonderPup" Angelo __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
