Subject: Is PPP/chat under FreeBSD 1.1R Broken????

I've been trying for two days now to get ppp working on my FreeBSD 1.1R
box with no success.  The first hurdle was getting the device (cua00)
setup correctly.  I can now use cu to connect to the modem without any
problem.  The problem is that chat does not seem to talk to the modem
at all.  I've got the usual chat script...something like
	pppd connect 'chat "" "ATS0=1" OK "ATDT XXXXXXX" ...' /dev/cua00 38400
but I never see the modem get any of the command bytes.  DTR goes high
but that is as far as the process ever gets.  Eventually chat will timeout
and I'll get a report that pppd could not setup the connection.

I've seen all of the posts about people setting up ppp on 1.1.5.1R but
nothing about 1.1R.  Is this because it is broken?  I'm in the process of
updating to 1.1.5.1R now but I'd really like to know if there is some-
thing else that I'm missing.
