Would this explain why my modem frequently hangs when I try user-ppp? In /etc/rc.serial I have, as per the Web handbook: # stty -f /dev/ttyid1 crtscts 115200 stty -f /dev/ttyld1 crtscts stty -f /dev/cuaia1 crtscts 115200 stty -f /dev/cuala1 crtscts at the bottom of the file. Is this correct? Can you explain what this syntax means? gary kline
