Windows says my com port is 1, but it seems like its 2... > whats gonig on here???? dial failed could mean a number of things, line busy, no answer and maybe some others. If you get an error on /dev/cuaa0 then I'd stick with /dev/cuaa1 especially if you get dial failed which indicates that at least you are getting a response from the modem. When you get to the ppp ON host> prompt type "term" (no quotes) and enter the commands to the modem directly. eg: atdt22114455 or whatever your phone number is, this way you can check out what is happening in interactive mode. When you typed dial did your modem ring? Did anything answer? Andrew Perry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
