It works fine under WIndows but no go with FreeBSD. I have been over the documentation (online and on my system) until I no longer am sensible. The modem is a Zoom 14.4 V.32bis and will work like a generic Hayes. It is located on sio1 (COM2 - in DOSnik). Boot finds the port and reports its location and irq number. I do get these funny little messages in root about "events on sio1 with no tp." One of the errors (on running tip) is "all ports busy." These two are related, yes? The other error is "permission denied". Which files need modification? And,what goes in them? Help, please? The question which is next, is how would I hook tip or whatever else to Mosaic to get to stop using DOS/Windows? Thanks for the help. Regards, John PS Version is 2.1.5 with X on top. The initial reply is always "did you check /etc/ttys" to see if there is a getty turned on by accident on /dev/ttyd1 or /dev/cuaa1. If the port is busy, that is usually a profound statement about how it is in use, and getty is enough to screw with tip, and mice, and all. Once that is set up, you can use tip to test the port, and you can get mosaic to run through it with ppp or pppd. I prefer pppd, though everyone here likes the user-process ppp. There is a lot of info on using ppp. Plus, I'd say that mosaic is web-dead these days, and that the other browsers are better options. (I use lynx, mostly.) -John
