Until you do this, I think the only speeds > you'll ever see are 300/1200/2400/4800/9600/19200. Once the speed has been put in /etc/ttys (and init HUPd), you also need to connect to the modem (you can use ppp in command mode) at the same speed and do a few ATs to train it to that speed. -- Brian <brian@Awfulhak.org> <brian@FreeBSD.org> <http://www.Awfulhak.org> <brian@OpenBSD.org> Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour ! <brian@FreeBSD.org.uk> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
