I've tried it with both current snap and 2.2-RELENG snap with the same results. I can't maintain ppp for more than a few seconds. I also have had times that I can't seem to reach the modem on cuaa0 to even dial. I put it on another machine with current snap and the modem works fin, ppp works fine. This test is the same modem same cable and without configuring differently but not with the boot floppy. Thanks Ed
