Hello=20 there. My name is Darren Bremer and I work for an ISP called = NETinc. =20 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=20 connection between the two modems/machines.

Just so=20 you know I have edited the /etc/ttys file to accept the proper COM port = and=20 speed setting. I checked in the ps -ax listing and I=20 get
