Hello Folks,

I'm trying to setup one of my FreeBSD machines to be a PPP client.  I 
went thru the Handbook (which is really nice BTW) and followed all the 
instructions.  However, when I connect using the kermit.dial script as 
recommended, the modem does not respond.  Also, when I connect by hand 
the connection drops after a few minutes.  I've tries setting the modem 
so that it does not hang up when the carrier is dropped.

Any ideas?

My particulars are:
Compaq 850 CDS w/ internal Sportster 14400 modem.
