I have followed the instructions in the handbook about setting up a dialup link between FreeBSD 2.2.7 server and win95 hyperterminal. When I call from the win95 machine, the 2 modems seem to connect, but the FreeBSD does not reply with a login: prompt. I have set the modem switch to Auto Answer, so I'm not sure if FreeBSD actually sees/understand a connection has been made. 1. Where can I find a log of connections made through a serial link to the system? 2. What could be wrong with the FreeBSD setup that it does not send a login prompt? I'm using a US Robotics 28.8 external modem on the FreeBSD system. My ultimate goal is to set up a ppp server so I can call in from home and be my own ISP. Hope this problem is explained clearly, if you need any more info, please let me know. Thanks for the help.
