Flip through the stuff in /etc/ppp and make sure the device is set to the one your modem is actually on, the speed is reasonable, and the init string is one that ensures your modem actually echoes the AT commands you send it. Some modems, by default, give you a blank stare when you type "AT" at them. Look through your modem manual or an online AT command reference for the thing to put in your init string that says "Boy, when I say ATTENTION you say 'yes sir!'" :) -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Jeffrey Dunitz | unix | orpheus@avalon.net BOFH Emeritus, Avalon Networks | perl | (651) 686-9974 / http://www.avalon.net/~orpheus | net/sec | Eagan, MN _ / To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
