Is that by some chance a Winmodem? If it's a Winmodem it won't work. Period. If it's PnP, maybe that screwing things up. See if you can lay your hands on another modem (maybe go safe and try a 28.8 or 33.6) and see if that works. I'll lay 10:1 odds it's your modem disagreeing with something in the PPP code. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* | FreeBSD; the way computers were meant to be | * "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is * | that I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet."| * fullermd@futuresouth.com :-} MAtthew Fuller * | http://keystone.westminster.edu/~fullermd | *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
