When I use tip, there are no data errors and everything works fine. When I attempt to establish a PPP connection, I cannot sync the modem. By running ktrace on the PPP process, I can see that the "ATE1\r" is being written, but the data being echoed back is "T1". If I modified tip/aculib/hayes.c (lazycmd) so that there is a pause between each of the characters in the command (I set this for 10ms), then the ATE1 command worked fine, but the program stalled on the ATV1, so I patched sendcmd the same way and got farther. Conclusion: the modem likes pauses between each of the characters in a command string. Has anyone else experienced this? Any other comments? USR is popular these days somebody else should have been here first. Larry
