Hi all, I have recently bought a 2nd machine and moved the older one home for use there so I can throw away my 286. At work I have a direct connection so I've never had to mess w/ a modem under FreeBSD - now I do! I followed (I thought) the handbook and tried to use both tip and cu to dial in. Here's the hardware first: P166 running 2.2-stable Motorola Bitsurfer 14.4 modem Dmesg shows that my serial ports (sio0 and sio1) are found. I have a /dev/cuaa0 w/ the correct permissions (as compared to those given in the handbook) and tip and cu are both of the right permissions for me to execute. I've also edited /etc/remote and given general configurations, following those of the handbook, for 57600 bps (this is the highest rate the modem can handle w/ compression). Here's the output when I run the various commands I've tried: tip -57600 9946972 (where I have a tip57600 desc. in /etc/remote) -> uu_lock: creat error: Permission denied all ports busy cu 9946972 -s 57600 (again w/ an appropriate entry in /etc/remote) -> cu: no matching ports cu -l /dev/cuaa0 -s 57600 -> Connected. (and I can then enter commands although I haven't been able to figure out how to make it dial out yet) So .... am I doing something wrong or is something misconfigured? I haven't tried ppp (I think I could do this from my present machine at work - school won't provide ppp from them directly). ********************************************************* Brett Taylor brett@peloton.physics.montana.edu http://peloton.physics.montana.edu/brett/
