Description wmaloney 2000-03-07 02:50:00 UTC 
I'm new to FreeBSD and I installed it on a working computer as the 
lone operating system.  Everything on this computer worked OK using
Win 98.  

My problem is I can't get the Modem to work.  I set my Bios and my 
Diamond Sportster Stealth 2000 3D modem to use PNP.  When I use the 
KDE Kppp setup it will not recognize the modem on any device setting.
When I disable PNP in my Bios and set the Modem on COM 1 or COM 2 I can
then 'Query' the Modem on the COM 2 setting.  The Modem initializes 
on 'Connect' but then just hangs there and I can't get a retun 'OK'.
My ISP is set-up properly, and the telephone no., ID, and password is
in there, but it will not dial out.  No other Com or Device setting 
will work, except COM 2.

I tried the Direct dialing in the mini-terminal and it will dial the 
number and hang.  

There's nothing wrong with the modem as it worked fine with Win98.
My MB is a M-Tech R526 with a AMDK5-166 CPU.  I had Redhat Linus 6.1 
on this machine before and the modem worked fine with that and Win98.

Do you have any clues as to what could be causing this?  I don't know 
what else I could do in my Bios setup or my modem settings.

Thanks for any help.
