[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi, I have FBSD 2.2.6 which I am generally very happy with except for one problem. Namely I can't seem to get User PPP working. Now I've spoken to Brian Somers about this and after comparing notes we still cannot figure out why it's failing. My present theory is that the FBSD O/S might not even be talking to my modem (perhaps there's compatibility problems between the modem and FBSD). I have a Rockwell 56K modem, is this compatible with FBSD 2.2.6?? Also what basic modem commands can I issue to test that my FBSD is at least talking to my modem?? I suppose once I've established this I can then manually enter the commands from the ppp.conf file on the command line to see if they have any subsequent effect??
