I have successfully used the same modem in Windows 95 Dialup Networking to connect to my ISP, so I am sure that the modem is capable of connecting via PPP to my ISP (I've even copied the init string from Windows 95). When running the PPP program during install, I am able to connect to my ISP; however, no data gets transmitted (I cannot ping my FreeBSD machine from the ISP either). I have verified all of my network settings with my ISP several times. Does anyone have a successful init string for use with this modem and FreeBSD? Is there something else that I may have overlooked? Thanks in advance for any suggestions, -Tim Leehane
