I have a Motorola ModemSurfer 28.8 modem on COM2 (the jumpers are set and PnP disabled). When I get to the PPP part of the install (after selecting FTP install), I type term and Enter for terminal mode echoes back. At this point I can only hit ~. or ~? or ~p. Nothing else types and there seems to be no control of the modem. I have disabled all the other serial ports, the bios reports the modem on com2: and freeBSD reports it correctly at sio1. I have reduced the speed down to 9600 with no luck. Please help, I have been struggling with Slackware Linux, and the freeBSD solution seems so much more elegant (and it seems to be getting good reviews on the USENET groups). Thanks so much. Private e-mail is fine. Regards. Allen -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- Allen Harris ath@interlog.com Mississauga, ON
