This smells like an XON/XOFF : problem. But is it? And if it is then in which part of my setup is it? : : Thanks in advance, : : Mimir Check your /etc/gettytab file and read the gettytab manpage on how to set up a rotary dial-in line. Modify your /etc/ttys file to put a getty on your dial-in line using the rotary entry in gettytab. Then you can dial in at 14400 and send a break to drop to 9600, then send a second break to drop to 2400 baud, a third break will put you into 1200 and a fourth will recycle to 14400. This is the standard Un*x way to do this and works just fine.
