Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-isp@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I wanted to say a BIG thank you to everyone on this list that offered me help with my dialup problems. I finally decided to go to Best Buy (my only almost local choice to buy computer stuff, and that's 70 miles! Yeah, I live in da boonies) and try a different modem and see what happened since nothing else seemed to help. I got a Zoom 33.6 modem and came home, switched the modems, set it with ATS0=1 and tried to log on, worked like a CHARM! First try, no problems, connected right up at 51600. So that pretty much proves to me that it WAS the Sportsters all this time and not my configuration (and yeah, I know sportsters work for some people great, but 50 init strings later, I hate them regardless). That's distressing considering the hell I've been thru this whole week, anyway it does work now. The guy I bought the modems from "thinks" he may be able to take them back since it's only been like two weeks or so, they have a 30 day return policy I've had at least 10 different people successfully logon several times each and the Zoom has only failed once! That was with someone on a 14.4, so I'm not sure, probably need to adjust something somewhere. Does anyone use Zoom's? Is there anything special they need in the init? I'm gonna search around, see what I can find out :) Susie - Excited about her (for now) one line ISP :D
