I am running BSD/2.0 and have connected a modem to it for remote shell
access, the next step was to allow PPP access BUT. 
I have a microcom deskporte fast modem (28.8k). 
the box is a pentium 75 with 8meg ram. 

I cannot get the modem to connect at any Baud-rate than 9600 and below, I
have placed my own entries in ETC/GETTYTAB following the format of the
entries that are there but no good I get no table entry when I modify ttys
and let a getty run on tty00.

Can anyone tell me how I get a modem to run on my BSD machine including:

1) How to dictate com port speed (computer to modem)
2) How to dictate communication speed (modem to modem)
3) What files I need to modify and how (ie gettytab entries ttys entries).

Please help I am going insane trial and erroring .

thanks  

ps for some unexplained reason com1 has become tty01 and com2 has become
tty00 I even did a re-install and this remained the case
