Date: 30 May 1994 17:36:23 GMT Organization: Computer Science Undergrad Assoc, UCBerkeley Lines: 19 Message-ID: <2sd86n$3s0@agate.berkeley.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: soda.berkeley.edu Hello again... I recently finished installing FreeBSD on my machine and I like it very much. Except for one thing, which you can probably guess by reading the subject line of this article. But just in case, here it is anyway: I want my modem back! It is rather disconcerting to know that I have no connection to the outside world. I do have a program which can access the modem, but it doesn't...I think the problem is that either the kernel doesn't know what a modem is or is just confused about my modem setup. What _really_ stinks is that I want to get a SLIP running again, and I have all the nice programs (like telnet and ftp) but they're useless. I just want to get the modem working properly. It's on (MS-DOS) COM4. Ideas? Please email tmonroe@soda.berkeley.edu. Thanks. Tony
