I finally solved my flow control problems with FreeBSD dialin w/mgetty and PPP works reliably. It is slow however, and was wondering if anybody has any advice. I am using kernel mode PPP on a USR Sportster 28.8. Port is open at 38400 (I know this should change, but I am testing at 14.4 to begin with, so it should not be a problem). I am using Windows 95 with it's built in dial-up networking as a test client with a sportster 14.4. FreeBSD release is 2.1.6. I am not using locked flow control or port speed on the serial devices as mgetty must be able to change both depending on the mode it's running in. I belive flow control is finally working properly, as netstat -i shows no errors in the ppp link.
