Now, please correct me if I'm wrong, but you have a 1200 baud modem, right? Most 1200 bauders (at least the one I used to own) don't do RTS/CTS (i.e. hardware) handshaking, no? I just checked, and it seems that iij-ppp automagically sets crtscts on your port. This is not a good thing. I grepped around in the ppp sources, and sure enough, it does set (and require) crtscts to be used. I don't know how to change this, so you're probably stuck for now. You mentioned that you'd be getting a Hayes 28.8 (? -- anyways, a high-speed modem of some kind) soon. This should solve your problem, since all high speed modems that I know of, support crtscts (and any that don't should immediately be thrown away).
