Well, after screwing with this thing all night, I fixed the problem..... I swapped out the modem with a friend's Xircom modem. Everything works great now! All I can say to CTX users having this strange problem is to get a new modem.... I had a cheapie generic card that came in an accton box, but the label looks like a generic box of saltine crackers.. it just says "V.90 MODEM" in big block letters on a white label. I laughed at that for a long time when I first got it, but the joke turned out to be on me :( I can only guess that this very nice Xircom modem just likes my PCCard controller and underlying structures better than my generic card. I set the pccard.conf settings for my accton modem to the exact same settings as the Xircom, but it still hangs the machine. Needless to say, I will be buying a Xircom modem when my friend wants his back. How did I get his modem in the first place, you ask? I installed freebsd on his laptop, which he thinks is the best thing since sliced bread.... I have to agree most of the time :-) As a side note, my cheapie modem didn't work in his toshiba laptop either. Anyway, if anyone needs to see my config files, or help with their CTX machines, just drop a line!
