I am trying to install via ftp. Everything seems fine right up to the point where ppp starts. It is my understanding that when ppp starts I should type 'term' to switch ppp to terminal mode so I can use AT commands to dial my modem and connect to my service provider. After I type in term, everything locks right up and I am forced to do a cold boot. Any ideas, anyone? I have successfully installed 2.1.0 with no problems (via ftp). Shouldn't I be able to install 2.1.5 the same way? Or is there something I am missing here? I am attempting to do a fresh install of 2.1.5, not an upgrade. Thanks
