Disconnect and set your getty > to the same speed. It is my understanding that freebsd doesnt't send any commands to modem, so that the modem can autobaud to the serial port. What I had to do is as above and do a at&w to write configuration to the modem. That way the modem would come up expecting the same baud rate as the one used when you did the at&w, no need for modem to autobaud! > > The problem may be that your modem doesn't understand a DT speed of > 19200 or 14400. > > -- > Brian <brian%anorak.coverform.lan@awfulhak.demon.co.uk> > <http://www.awfulhak.demon.co.uk/> > Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour.... > .
