The problem seems to be with the line speed between : the computer and modem (I am using external USR14.4 Sportster modems). If I : set the speed to 9600, I can dialin, but as soon as I set it to 19200 or higher : and try, it craps out. I am setting the line speed to 19200 by setting the : ports 'ttys' setting to std.19200. Is this correct? Is that possibly a RTFM question ? :) A few questions/suggestions: Do you use the sio serial driver and did you set the kernel option COM_BIDIR ? options "COM_BIDIR" #Bidirectional support in sys/isa/sio.c device sio0 at isa? port "IO_COM1" tty irq 4 vector siointr device sio1 at isa? port "IO_COM2" tty irq 3 vector siointr Do you have the following special files ? For logins: 0 crw------- 1 root wheel 28, 0 Nov 8 06:28 tty00 0 crw------- 1 root wheel 28, 1 Nov 8 10:09 tty01 For dialing out: 0 crw-rw-r-- 1 uucp dialer 28, 128 Nov 8 03:45 cua00 0 crw-rw-r-- 1 uucp dialer 28, 129 Nov 7 18:34 cua01 Did you setup the port using the comcontrol utility ? A good place for that is /etc/rc.local: # initialize serial ports /sbin/comcontrol /dev/tty00 bidir /sbin/comcontrol /dev/tty01 bidir stty crtscts < /dev/cua01 <= enable hardware handshaking What output shows comcontrol /dev/tty01 ? root# comcontrol /dev/tty01 bidir dtrwait 200 Hope these suggestions help. Please note that I found this in the faq. I personally use my modem only for dialing out. So the above is untestet (but doesn't crash the/my system).
