I have one simple question... Can *ANYONE* give me a simple step-by-step set of instructions to access the modem on my machine (netbsd-current, modem on com0) and get slip up and running? thank you that was the simplest way of putting it... I have read a lot of articles in the news group about how to get slip up and running but they ALL already assume you have been able to get the modem up and running and connect to the outside world... This I haven't been able to do as yet... I have used tip and cu and neither seem to like me... They want to create a lock file and then use it but they keep coming back with permission denied errors... AAAARGHHH... so I created a 0 byte lock file for tty00 and that also didn't work... it was giving strange errors.. such as line busy... etc... I know it may seem a little tedious to help but this is a very annoying problem... either post the group of email me a response at e9322899@mailbox.uq.oz.au thank you..
