I'm having difficulty setting up ppp on my machine. When running ppp in
the manual mode it locks up the machine as soon as I enter the term
command. I don't have any luck connecting in the auto mode either. Any
help I can get on this will be greatly appreciated. Here are the
specifics...
Machine - 350 MHz AMD-K6, IBM Aptiva
Modem - 3-Com USR 56k Faxmodem v.90 Internal (ISA Slot)
FreeBSD version 3.1
I have had the same results using both the GENERIC kernel, and a customized
version of the kernel. The output of dmesg using the customized kernel is
shown below...

The machine locks up when I enter the following sequence of commands at the

Any pointers on recovery at this point would be appreciated. I have always
had to resort to cycling power at this point.
Thanks,
