Lines: 11 X-Disclaimer: These views are the poster's and not necessarily those of Barclays I recently configured NetBSD0.9 on a tosh laptop, and had what appears to be exactly the same problem. I had done a slattach, ifconfig'd the line and then done a ping, with the result that the modem showed ping packets getting transmitted, but there was never any reply. My problem appeared to be that the line speed I set from kermit to do the remote login was 38400. I didn't specify a speed with the slattach so it defaulted to 9600. When I matched both speeds by doing a slattach -s 38400, everything worked fine...... Cheers, Paul
