Help! Date: 7 Jan 1996 09:14:44 GMT Organization: California State University Sacramento Lines: 9 Message-ID: <4co2u4$f93@news.csus.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: wleong@pluto.sfsu.edu X-Newsreader: News Xpress Version 1.0 Beta #4 Hi, recently I helped a friend to install the FreeBSD but we ran into a problem when trying to use the modem. The modem is a Boca 14.4 on com2 (/dev/cuaa1). I tweaked a the init-string of the sportster setting in /etc/modems and when I tried to dial using tip, I got an error saying "tip can't synchronize with modem". I am stucked cause I couldn't find any documentation of troubleshooting the tip error message. You reply is greatly appreciated.
