Subject:   Am not getting login prompt through serial connection

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.

Alain
