Somewhere I read that FreeBSD did not support CTS/RTS style flow control. I've tried everything reconfiguring the modems with K3 and K5 (rts/cts and XON/XOFF respectively) changing the gettytab till my fingers bled. Recompiling the kernel to use the com driver instead of the sio driver. Trying differnt modems for answering. But no luck :( I'm using DynaLink modems for answering and at high speeds no problems show up. But lower speeds constantly f*ck up and SLIP also refuses to work as well. Any ideas? Should I use NetBSD instead? Should I just buy a terminal server instead? Should I hire a traffic police man to control the data flow? As you can see I'm pretty desperate for answers :-) Hope this is enough info to go on. Mimir
