Could this be a problem with the serial port drivers in 4.0? I've done a bit of testing here with a 4.0-stable and 5.0-current box and everything seems to be sane. Perhaps there's a problem between your modem and the ISP.... I think the only thing to do at this point is to swap bits in & out 'till you find the culprit. You could try booting an older kernel on your 4.0 box, and maybe even try another modem there. > Bill > -- > William Denton : Toronto, Canada : http://www.miskatonic.org/ : Caveat lector. -- Brian <brian@Awfulhak.org> <brian@[uk.]FreeBSD.org> <http://www.Awfulhak.org>; <brian@[uk.]OpenBSD.org> Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour !
