Review your dmesg file to see if your box can see the modem.  You can do a
"dmesg | more" to review it.  Before you start down the path of ppp you need
to make sure you can control the modem.  The easiest way that I know of to
confirm basic modem command is by using the cu command.  For example if your
modem was cuaa0 you would type "cu -l /dev/cuaa0" at this point you should
be able to ATDT the modem.  Check out the man page for cu before you begin.
It's kind of tough to get out of.

  Subject: Cant get Modem Blaster to work in FreeBSD 4.3


  I am having trouble getting my modem to be detected under FreeBSD 4.3. I
have a ISA based Creative Labs Modem Blaster Flash56 DI5601-1 modem that
isnt a WinModem (i connected to the internet under Linux Mandrake 8.0). I am
not sure how to get my modem to work under BSD. It is in PnP mode and set to
Com3 (cuaa2 i believe). I am not sure what other information you would need,
but i did create resolv.conf and /etc/ppp/options with proper read write
permissions (i think) by setting chmod a+rw on them as root. Please help me.

  Thanks in advance,
  Chris Lenox (aliaszero@hotmail.com)
