If you do, it will tell you how to end term, at least. Also, when your computer was apparently hung, did you try switching to another virtual terminal with Alt-F2 or Alt-F3 ?? I suspect it's not really hung, you just don't know how to "talk" to term. Once you're in term, you are ready to type commands to your modem, try at and the modem should respond with OK. This is explained in man ppp. Did you read the man page ?? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
