Hello,

Can someone PLEASE help me as it has been 2 months now and I still can't get
my modem to hangup when using FreeBSD 1.1

Its a Miracom Courier DS HST connected to tty01. I can dial up ok and connect
to my internet service provider (demon uk), but after receiving mail, etc I
cannot get the modem to hang up. I've tried echoing "+++\c" followed by a
pause, then echoing "ath" but it just sits there on line.

PLEASE, PLEASE, will someone tell me where I am going wrong. I'm at the point
now where I shall have to leave FreeBSD (very regretfully) and use Linux as 
all the unix box is for is to act as a mail / news server.

Please help.... :-(
