RE: yet another newbie ppp/modem question
If your modem is external, maybe you have com1 com2 disabled in the PC bio's. If PCI modem them and you are not using com1,2 ports then you should disable there bio's so modem can use them. One other thing FBSD does not work with winmodems, those cheap modems manufactured just for MS/Windows market. You can use 'TIP' console command to talk directly to modem. If PCI modem check /var/run/dmesg.log to see if FBSD found your modem. Post more info on what you have done to debug, describe your modem type. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Alex Sent: Friday, September 12, 2003 4:11 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: yet another newbie ppp/modem question I'm having some trouble getting my modem up and running on FreeBSD 4.8.
