I'm dialing into my FreeBSD box from a PC using Kermit 95.
When I dialin the modems hadnshake and connect correctly,
When the login propmpt appears, I enter a valid user name and
enter my password and nothing happens - no shell is spawned.
I think it has something to do with carrier detect. 
I worked fine previously but this problem started when I  reset
my modem to factory defaults.
Any ideas what the problem is and how to fix it?
Kirk :)
