First, I cannot find any documentation on this. Please tell me where to look. My immediate background is BSD 2.1, which I still have on another machine here -- the one I am using at this moment, which dials-up to queernet.org where there is BSD 3.0. The situation is this: my FreeBSD system shares with Windows95. Windows95 can call out with no difficulty. So I know the modem is working all right and the port is configured okay. Must be something wrong with how I have the FreeBSD modem software configured. On the FreeBSD side, I can call out, receive login prompt, enter my login, but I cannot enter the password on the remote machine. Screen freezes up and I have to exit using ~. Neither the FreeBSD hardcopy handbook nor the on-line man pages reveal anything to me about this problem.
