    Hello there.  My name is Darren Bremer and I work for an ISP called =
NETinc.  I am trying to set up a FreeBSD box so that people can call =
into it as a ppplogin.   At this point in time all I want to do is =
establish a connection between the two modems/machines.
    The problem that I am running into is that when my friend phones =
into the FreeBSD box I am using,  it auto-answers but then as soon as a =
connection is established it drops him.  He says that on his end he =
doesn't even get a login prompt or any garbage across the screen.  On my =
end (I have a USR 28.8 Sportster) the following lights go on:
        AA    CD            TR    CS    ARQ/FAX
then he gets dropped and the CD, ARQ/FAX lights go out.
    The modem that he is using is a USR 33.6 Sportster so it could not =
be a conflict of modems.  I have been throught the FreeBSD manual =
numerous times and I have asked numerous people on the IRC channels.  No =
one seems to understand/know what the correct solution to the problem =
would be.  Any help whatsoever would be greatly appreciated.
    Just so you know I have edited the /etc/ttys file to accept the =
proper COM port and speed setting.  I checked in the ps -ax listing and =
I get
            /usr/libexec/getty std.38400 ttyd1
That modem is set on COM port 2.
    Thank you in advance for any information you can supply me with.

    Regards,    Darren
