Hi,
    I've been trying to setup my modem for Internet access but somehow, it doesn't seem to work, as a newbie to BSD and generally, Unix systems and I would be grateful to any kind souls out there who will offer me help. Thanks!!! :)

My modem:
3Com U.S.Robotics 56K Faxmodem(RAS modem 8120)
on com2 of my system.

Problem:
I have set the following line to the /etc/ttys file : ttydo "usr/libexec/getty std.115200" dialup on secure and then type the command kill -HUP 1 and it was successful! However, when I have tried sending an ATZ command, the system prompted: no such command. Puzzled!!??? I go into GUI mode. Over in KDE, which I have configured as my default x-window, in the Internet dialer set-up option, when querying the modem the Internet Dialer hangs! Hmmmm... ...What should I do? It seems like FreeBSD can't detected my modem . Is there anything else to set up the modem?
Please help. Thank you!!!

Rgds,
Jonathan Goh
