I have followed the 'cy' man page and the FreeBSD handbook as best I can, and I can get getty to raise the DTR (as the modem light responds), but cannot seem to get anything else to work. I have tried using 'cu' and 'tip' to dial and enter commands to the modem, but it doesn't respond correctly. The TR light on the modem just blinks on and off, and nothing else! Any suggestions?? I can't seem to get the board to function correctly under DOS either. I tried the CYCTEST programme which indentifies the board just fine, but when I connect a modem and try to test a port it responds with 'No ports selected and/or connected', when I have connected and selected a port! Once again, if I go to the terminal emulation option in CYCTEST, I can raise and lower the DTR no problems, but anything else doesn't seem to respond! PLEASE HELP!! Thanks, Roger
