Well.. for a starter.. there is not much information here for us to go on; apart from that it aint work. Step 1 -> test if the card is recognized and there. boot the machine, log in as root; type 'pccardd', wait 5 seconds, plug in the card and send us the output of 'dmesg' approx 10 seconds after you plugged in the card. The last few lines should say something like sio1 at port XXXX... sio4: type 16550A Step 2 -> test the modem if the above is 'sio5' then check that there is a /dev/cuaa5 with cd /dev ls cuaa* If it is not there, make one sh MAKEDEV cuaa5 Then edit /etc/remote and add a line modem:dv=/dev/cuaa5:br#9600:pa=none: Then do man tip read up on how to exit ! and try tip modem and then do AT the modem should respond with OK Then you can try things like 'ATDT123' to get confidence that the modem is fine. Then follow the 'userland PPP' section in the handbook from here. If this fails.. preserve or mail us the _output_ of what goes wrong so we can see what the problem is :-) :-) Dw To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
