It would be a whole lot more helpful if you posted your ppp.conf
and the ppp.log of your last test
Explain how you know FBSD has found your modem and can connect to
it.

Subject: New installation: Hanging when trying to dial out
Hi, folks,
I've got a brand-new installation of FreeBSD and the next
thing I want
to do is upgrade from 4.6 (the CD I had) to 4.9 or 5.1. However,
first
I need to dial out, and there I'm having a problem.
I've followed the instructions (I hope!) in Chapter 18 of
the
handbook, and whatever approach I take to dialing out, the box
hangs--I
can't even Alt-F3 to a new shell. This happens whether I'm using cu
or
trying a manual connection in ppp. When I do the latter, after I
type
term, I get the responses, but, after type '~?' for help, the
keyboard
stops responding. ~. doesn't get me out of it--nothing does. The box
is
an eMachines etower 600is and the modem is a Microcom Deskporte
28.8P.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
All the best,
John A
