First you need to install your outside communication software for the modem. try setting up cu. You could do a "man cu" to see the proper config files!!! Second port /usr/ports/comms/mgetty+sendfax. This is a daemon designed to replace getty in your /etc/ttys file. This daemon will watch over the comm port specified (if set up right) and wait for a "RING" from the line, then it will automatically send back a "ATA". Once it is up, it does work great!!! - Jeff Dean -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= - Jeffrey D.
