And, how do I fix it where the current character will echo to the terminal screen? I start a manual user-PPP session by typing 'ppp' at the shell prompt. PPP starts normal, displaying the tun interface used. I type 'show physical', PPP has set all the defaults correctly as specified under the ppp.conf defaults: label. I start a terminal session (typing 'term') within PPP (chat script under isp: label always fails) and begin to enter the "at" modem initialization strings. When I type the 'at' command, I type 'a', nothing displays to screen. Type the 't', and the 'a' echoes to the screen, hit ENTER and the 't' echoes. I have to press ENTER, to see that the modem has returned the 'OK' response. To enter the dial string I type atdt1234567, the same pattern as described above occurs. After enter the last digit of the phone and pressing ENTER the modem opens the line and begins the connection. I must be sure an not press ENTER while the modem(s) are executing the hand-shaking process. After which, I press ENTER and receive the 'CONNECT' response from the remote system (actually not an ISP, but a Shiva LanRover switch). The same pattern as before applies throughout the login and password authorization. I am able to log on to the remote system sucessfully, but not able to start ppp on the remote system. I have tried minicom and the same problem occurs. I have been able to get a chat script (very odd, lots of //d 2-sec delays and null expect strings) that will dial and connect to the remote system; however, I still haven't been able negotiate ppp. It is basically unusable. Here are the specifics: OS: FBSD 4.0 release (ship w/ The Complete FreeBSD book) SYSTEM: Gateway Solo2500 (laptop) MODEM(PCCard): Xircom 10/100 + 56K Modem (XEM5600) sio4 (serial port), cuaa4 (call-out port) Thanks to all responses __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
