Hi,

I'm having problems with dialup connections to a freebsd 2.0 box. Using the 
"std.19200" config for for my ttyd1 terminal works no problem, I can dial in 
and log on no problem. However if I use any of the faster standard terminals 
such as "std.38400" or "std.57600" so as to get the benefit from my new 28.8K 
modem I experience what seems to be baud rate mismatches ie. it does answer 
but you just get garbage back instead of the login prompt. I've matched the 
exact same baud on the dialin pc. Has anyone had any experience with this 
before? should I be setting some special mode on the modem?

Any help would be appreciated..

Justin.
