If terminal mode passes through tun0 then it needs to
be considered. Otherwise not. I'm in the dark here.

I've tried all the _normal_ settings with the same
result. Ppp loads fine, but there is no response to
any input in terminal mode. In order to get the modem
to work I had to trash my NT partition and install
Win95. Even then the normally reliable setup failed to
detect the modem. It was only when I set the CMOS to
PNP O/S and did find new hardware that the modem
revived. Is FreeBSD now a PNP O/S? Now I didn't want
to mention this before, due to the flame war, but...
This modem was designed to be PNP or jumpered. The
jumper has been bridged to disable PNP at the factory.
(Doesn't work?) I don't suppose that this could be
confusing the start up probes in some way. This is a
genuine suggestion please don't flame me! Just tell me
how I can make the probe more verbose?
I know I won't get much help without logs, but if I
break the modem again I could be off line some time. I
need as much information as I can get before I reboot.

This is a secondry issue as I can at least connect via
x-stream. AFAIK I have a _stock_ system, whatever that
means. My understanding is that if the crypto sources
are present make world sucks them in automatically.
Please correct me if I am wrong. I did discover that
mergemaster -s -v does what I thought mergemaster -s
did. RTFM. What cruft there was looks harmless to me.
I do have USA_RESIDENT = NO set in /etc/make.conf.
What do I need to add to make the build behave as
setting USA_RESIDENT= YES would do. The comment in
make.conf suggests that this is only for ports.
/etc/defaults/make.conf seems to enable all crypto
stuff unless you uncomment the NOxxx= true lines.
HAVE_DES is not mentioned there.
If all my mailing lists wren't sent to freeserve I'd
just swap ISP's and forget it. FYI x-stream is PAP.
