I have my modem on ttyb, so.. my /etc/remote is like this: ttyb:dv=/dev/ttyb:pa=none:el=^C^S^Q^U^D:ie=%$:oe=^D: modem:dv=/dev/ttyb:br#19200:el=^C^S^Q^U^D:ie=%$:oe=^D: (tip ttyb and tip modem both work, don't recall why I have two entries..) and /etc/ttys is like this: ttyb "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" unknown off rtscts local parenb cs8 my eeprom settings are thus: ttyb-mode=19200,8,n,1,h ttyb-rts-dtr-off=false ttyb-ignore-cd=false btw, if you just want to use PPP on the modem, then you probably don't need to use tip at all - I got PPP working long before I got tip and cu working, pppd can use chat to dial up and login just fine.. ]ain
