Things work... kind of... ppp ON blossom> term at OK atdt5551234 CONNECT . . Is what I see, eventually. But as I type, this is how it looks after I type the 'at' command, ppp ON blossom> term a But then as I start to type the 'atdt' more and more of the conversation echoes back. If I keep hitting I see more and more of what happened earlier in the conversation. Since I know how the login proceedes, I can guess at when to type my login name and password, and that part seems to work. I get replies from the device on the other end that things have worked. However, I never successfully switch into packet mode. I've tried letting it auto sense packet mode and telling it to switch (~p). I am not sure if these two issues are related. Nor do I know if the echo problem is software related (ppp(8) or pccard), or if it is a hardware problem (I've used this modem, Megahertz XJ4336, w/o problems in other PCs and it still works fine under Windoze on a different machine). Has anyone seen this problem? Any ideas of what might be going on? If more information is needed, I do have some _long_ PPP logs, but did not include them here. I do get the famous "sio overflow" errors from time to time, but not sure if that has any bearing on the issue. Thanks for any help. -- Crist J.
