I may be able to be of limited help, although I have never tried to configure a PCMCIA modem.

So with this modem inserted in the card slot, does tip(1) work? # grep sio4 /etc/remote sio4|com5:dv=/dev/cuad4:br#9600:pa=none: # tip sio4 connected atz <-- type this simple AT command OK With the modem plugged in, do you have a /dev/cuad3 entry? What does ls -l /dev/cu* show? Are you logged in as root? > > i have a ppp.conf which looks exactly as the one in the handbook. when is > > start ppp after a while i get the propmpt and after that if i type: dial > > _tag_ the machine freezes... The ppp man page is lengthy, but excellent. It contains a lot of information that took me several readings to digest, but it was well worth the time. I am not an expert in diagnosing ppp problems from logs, but if you can post the ppp.log entries you get when you attempt to initiate a ppp connection, others may be able to help.
