Well, since you didn't include whether or not a getty was running, or what the ttys entry looks like, here's a quickie checklist: 1) Make sure the result codes and echo on the modem connected to the FreeBSD box are disabled. This is commonly done by "ate0q1". 2) Also be sure that auto answer is enabled on the modem. This may be enabled via a dipswitch or a modem command (commonly "ats0=1"). 3) Enable getty for the device at the desired baud rate in /etc/ttys. 4) To actually respawn the getty process, be sure to send the hangup signal to init. (kill -1 1 as root) Finally, if the modem is still not working, attempt to communicate with the modem by using cu. (cu -l /dev/cuaa0 -s 9600 -t will attach to "COM1" at 9600 baud. If you disabled echo and result codes, be aware of this -- just try dialing somewhere.) -p -- Phil Jensen Email: phil<at>qnis.net Manager of Network Operations WWW: http://www.qnis.net QuadraNet Internet Services Phone: (209) 485-2965
