Hey can anyone help....

I am trying to set up a Dial-Up Connection to my ISP using FreeBSD 2.2.5, I have found that ppp is needed but when I try editing the ppp.conf after copying it from ppp.conf.sample I cannot connect, it only works if I give the command 

set line /dev/cuaa0

If I try

set line /dev/cuaa1 (2 or 3)

It still wont work, when it tries to dial when set for cuaa0 it tells me the modem isn't configured and can't open modem ??

Can anyone tell me how to configure my modem and how to set up a Dial-Up connection, my ISP won't tell me as the prefer not to have UNIX-like connections but the still permit it....

Thanx
Ian O'Friel
