Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-hardware@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Basically, I am trying to set up an install over a ppp connection using an Intel Thor (P5-166) motherboard. I have set the serial ports in CMOS to auto, and have my internal modem (USR Sportster Orion chipset) hard set to com 1, irq 4. When I have this configuration, I am unable to set up ppp on com 1. My first & only option is com 2. I set it up next for auto (PNP) configuration, with the same CMOS settings. This time I was able to see com 1, but now I am not so sure I'm getting the modem, or just talking to the onboard serial port. I type in term, but am unable to get a response from any AT commands I try to send to the modem. Am I still not seeing the modem? Anybody have a step by step that will help me out on this? (The install.txt file mentions that the terminal emulation is a very simple emulator, and I am at a loss for 1) finding out how to confirm that I am sending AT commands correctly 2) Knowing how to actually set this up. (I am assuming that things aren't organized so that negotiation just happens in the background)
