I can dial up ok and connect to my internet service provider (demon uk), but after receiving mail, etc I cannot get the modem to hang up. I've tried echoing "+++\c" followed by a pause, then echoing "ath" but it just sits there on line. PLEASE, PLEASE, will someone tell me where I am going wrong. I'm at the point now where I shall have to leave FreeBSD (very regretfully) and use Linux as all the unix box is for is to act as a mail / news server. Please help.... :-( -- Ian Steel Kettering England.
