Hello, I've been using FreeBSD for quite some time. But a few months ago, my SupraExpress 288i PnP modem just stopped working under FreeBSD. I had made neither hardware nor software configuration changes. The symptoms: - I use ppp to connect, it says it has connected (ppp turns to PPP, "Packet mode detected") but programs such as fetchmail, lynx, netscape, etc. just can't connect to anything. - I try: echo "atdtXXXXXXX" >/dev/cuaa2 (using my other home phone #) but the modem does nothing -- there are no messages either. It just does nothing. At first I dismissed it as an isolated incident, I stopped using FreeBSD after it for several months... because I was caught up in a project in Win95, but when I returned to FreeBSD, the problem lingered. My ISP maintains they did not change anything on their side, and it should still work. It does work under Win95... I simply don't know where to go from here. My friend has had the exact same problem (but with another, more reliable modem) and I've heard from yet another person with the same problem (with a Powerbit modem). None of us has been able to resolve the issue. Any help would be much appreciated!
