You just don't (yet) recognize a good cigar when you see one. First you have to get terminal access dial-in working. This is the best way to debug your modems. You have to get the dial-in modem behaving and automatically resetting and reconfiguring between calls. Then from within a shell login you could invoke pppd(8) on the command line. That is, once you configure pppd. Expect the ppp(8) utility could also be used but I never have. Or you could look into /usr/ports/comms/mgetty* and other techniques for bypassing the login-to-shell stage. But first you need the text dial-in working. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
