I am guessing that the commands are to the modem directly which is connected to my ethernet port. The manufacturer writes; -------------------------- >From Terminal program or TELNET program, the "restart" command will do reset. Which mode you are using? "1483 bridged mode" or "PPPoE routing mode"? In Terminal or TELNET program, key in "system", it will display ADSL firmware +version. -------------------------- of course there is no "restart" or "system" command with telnet. Any idea of where they are going with this? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
