Sinelnikov" To: FreeBSD Questions List Subject: modem configuration: tip question Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello list, please help me to figure out how to use tip interface to do a modem configuration, dialup e t.c.. I have followed the instructions in freebsd documentation and get stuck at ``tip'' command. It seems to understand the entries from the /etc/remote file but does not want to search /etc/phones if ``@'' is specified. But that's ok. My question is: how can I use tip (what should be the syntax, could you give the examples) to configure my modem. And the problem is that if I type: # tip netcom It says: >> tip: unknown modem hayes >> unknown ACU type >> [EOT] where netcom is standard entry in /etc/remote file. What does it mean? In the rest, I can dial in (from other computer) and I see getty waiting at ttyd1 port. I will appriciate your help very much. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Global Recycling Network Inc. http://grn.com http://grn4.recyclenet.com Yegor D.
