Are you sure the modem isn't configured to not to echo? can you use cu to connect to the modem? What baud rate? Can the modem cope with the baud rate?

There are options to allow the config screen. options USERCONFIG #boot -c editor options USERCONFIG_BOOT #imply -c and parse info area options VISUAL_USERCONFIG #visual boot -c editor I guess 'VISUAL_USERCONFIG' is what you should remove. > > 3)I have an SMC EitherEZ card in my computer, I have configured the irq and > i/o address, but I have no idea what to put for the memory address, when I > leave it on the default the kernel doesn't detect it at boot.
