You should be able to use AT-commands to dial and configure the modem. If not, at the ppp> prompt type 'show modem' and make sure the device points to the right port (/dev/cuaa0 = COM1, /dev/cuaa1 = COM2) and if it's not then type 'set device /dev/cuaa?' ?=port as above. > Also, I can't provide the installation program with an > address for my ISP or DNS because it is all dynamic. The DNS address had better not be dynamic. Ask your ISP for the IP address of their Domain Name Server. _Your_ IP may be dynamic, that's OK. >I tried pinging > DNS.MEM.NET (my provider) but it said bad address.
