I've got a brand-new installation of FreeBSD and the next thing I want to do is upgrade from 4.6 (the CD I had) to 4.9 or 5.1. However, first I need to dial out, and there I'm having a problem.
I've followed the instructions (I hope!) in Chapter 18 of the handbook, and whatever approach I take to dialing out, the box hangs--I can't even Alt-F3 to a new shell. This happens whether I'm using cu or trying a manual connection in ppp. When I do the latter, after I type term, I get the responses, but, after type '~?' for help, the keyboard stops responding. ~. doesn't get me out of it--nothing does. The box is an eMachines etower 600is and the modem is a Microcom Deskporte 28.8P.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
All the best,
John A
