Hi Folks,

I'm trying to setup a modem, mainly for dial-in use.
I'm running a Gateway 2000 P5-133, with FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE,
and Zoom 14.4 Faxmodem.  Things went fairly smoothly -- I was able
to dial out ok with this setup -- until I tried to dial into 
this modem.  I get this instead of a login prompt:

CONNECT 38400
rrl


   |br
	 blnbobp
		      ro`rron|lronc

						c|lbslrrlprnl|b

Seems to me like a problem involving parity/stopbit, etc, but no
amount of fiddling with the setup seems to work properly.  Anyone 
have a suggestion?  I'd really appreciate it very much.

/etc/ttys:
ttyd0   "/usr/libexec/getty std.38400"  unknown on

/etc/getttyab:

std.38400|38400-baud:\
	:np:sp#38400:


I'm going to try another modem over the weekend, see if this is
a modem-specific problem....
