Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org If you have this modem, US Robotics 56K Fax modem, Product # USR5686D, I need some help. It is an external modem and I have connected it to my second serial port. I am able to connect to the modem using term /dev/cuaa1 and also the tip command, but once I am connected I can't enter anything in. No characters show up on the screen when I type them into the keyboard. Its not a problem with the modem, since I tested it on my windows XP machine and it worked fine. Also the port works since I can connect. I think there is a problem with one of the three following files /etc/remote, /etc/modems or /etc/ppp/ppp.conf. If you have this modem could you dump a copy of each of these files into a text file and send it to me so I can compare. I added an entry for this modem in /etc/modems using the init_string = AT\r. It should work. There is a second init_string for this modem, but that is the one that worked on the XP machine, plus I've tried them both and neither works correctly. When I use the command tip -57600 ####### it tells me that tip can't synchronize with the modem.
