In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Sounds like your modem is doing what it is set up to do. Unless you disable fax, I think, USR modems will try to negotiate fax first then fall back to other modes. Check your modem manual against your current settings. (ATI4) Set your modem to reset after carrier drop (probably &D3) and/or extend disconnect times. If you don't use fax, disable it completely. Set your default profile (ATW0) to restore the modem to a known state on reset -- which means storing what you want in profile 0 or 1 and setting Y? accordingly. Look at the init strings used by your DOS tools. That should give you an idea of what you need. -- Jay On Sun, 19 Oct 1997, Lefty G. wrote: > I have an annoying problem with my modem setup and Free-BSD..Apparently, > when I boot into FreeBSD, my USR modem *thinks* it is in fax machine mode, > and whenever I was to access it (ppp, minicom, etc) I have to do an ATZ > and then dial the number..
