Make sure "gateway" is set to YES in /etc/rc.conf (or /etc/sysconfig) and set the dialing side up so that it makes your FreeBSD box its default route. > 2.

I'd suggest putting some diagnostics in ModemTimeout() in modem.c - this function checks carrier on the modem. I'm assuming you're cabled properly. Failing this, you can always "enable LQR". > With out this list server, I would not be able to set up FreeBSD.. Therefore > thank you to everyone who has replied to my messages laterly.
