( sound familiar? ) I've : been trying to setup a dialin line on FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 with no luck at : all. I can dial out just fine with MiniCom on /dev/cua00 but this silly : U.S. Robotics 14.4 Sportster won't auto-answer. Seems that it can't : store S0=001 in VRAM ( the manual says that it's designed this way! ), so : after a reset or on boot-up it reverts to S0=000. I tried echoing : ATS0=001 to all of the 1st serial port device lines and the best that I : get is a lock-up. I set these devices to RW for all and it made no : difference. Maybe I've overlooked something. If anyone has any ideas : ( useful ones ) I would greatly appreciate hearing them. Try this: Go into minicom or wherever you can get your modem working. Send an "ATS0=1&W" to your modem. What the "&W" part does, is save your auto-answer string in the modem's non-volatile RAM, so whenever you issue an ATZ, auto-answer should stay on.
