Hello we are using BSD386 1.1 and are having a few probs with modems.
We are using a 386 40SX, with a USR 144000 internal as COM2 2F8.


        1. How do we get set the modem to answer incoming calls ?

        2. Why do we get the following message when attempting to
           dial out with tip ?  This is how we attempt to dial out:

          myhost#tip ti              <- ti is a DOS BBS we want to call)
          can't open log file /var/log/aculog
          Using "/dev/tty01"
          Segmentation fault (core dumped)     <- The errror message

           Even though we get dial tone, and the BBS answers etc. ????


Thanks,
