On 3 April 2000, J McKitrick wrote, about some serial port problems I had: : I had a similar problem.

Leave : only the first one, and recompile. If that doesn't work, remove all : after the second one. Thanks. I tried these and fiddled around a bit and it seems that all that it needed was a hard reset. Shutting everything down and restarting got the modem working right again, which made me feel silly, but turned up what must have been my original problem. Running ppp and saying "dial myISP", it connects to the modem, dials, detects a carrier and then just waits: Apr 12 21:55:52 mrs-hudson ppp[228]: tun0: Phase: deflink: dial -> carrier Apr 12 21:55:53 mrs-hudson ppp[228]: tun0: Phase: deflink: /dev/cuaa0: CD detected Apr 12 21:55:53 mrs-hudson ppp[228]: tun0: Phase: deflink: carrier -> login Apr 12 21:55:53 mrs-hudson ppp[228]: tun0: Chat: Expect(5): ogin: Apr 12 21:55:58 mrs-hudson ppp[228]: tun0: Chat: Expect timeout The exact same ppp.conf works perfectly well on my other machine (except for changing the device from 0 to 1) with the same modem. In fact this is the same ppp.conf that was on mrs-hudson when it was running 3.4, before I upgraded to 4.0-RELEASE. If I use the 'term' command to dial in by hand, I see "CONNECT 115200" and then nothing, and nothing winkles a Login: prompt out of the other side. Is there anything I can do to debug this?
