One of my staff was having a problem with his Mac connecting to our FreeBSD box with a single modem on it...we ended up just switching over to using a terminal server instead, since I figured it was a modem incompatibility... My Mac is in the shop, else I would re-test it, including connecting it with a serial cable directly to my FreeBSD box... Marc G.
