Hi,

Currently, I am using FreeBSD 2.1 version and am using tun0 device to
connect to the ISP provider (ATT Worldnet). I have a 33.6 USRobotics 
Sportster modem and am running into the following problems:


1. System hangs up intermittantly when I "dial worldnet". (It some times
talks to modem. Otherwise System hangs up) I suppose, this problem
is due to the modem.

2. How do i specify modem characteristics to the system?

3. Since i am assigned the IP address dynamically, what should be
contained in /etc/hosts file?

Would appreciate your comments.

Thank you
