Help!!!

     I have a problem getting PPP setup.  I dial and connect, but i can't 
do anything after that.  I hit Alt-F2, login, etc. and then try to ftp, 
telnet, etc. and It just sits there.  I also get an error when i swtich 
to packet mode that says something like a file is already there.

     I also have another problem.  FreeBSD doesn't always detect my 
modem.  Sometimes it does, and sometimes it doesn't.  My modem is on COM2 
(sio1).

     If you have any ideas, please send me e-mail.  Thanx.
