Many if not most modems supporting a Hayes-style command set include several loopback points (digital and analog) which you can turn on via specific command. Those commands are all non-standardized, so I can't tell you the commands for yours, but if you can look through a user manual or command reference you should be able to find them. Turning on loopback should allow you to do some basic verification tests, e.g. pipe a file of random binary values into it while concurrently reading it, and verify that you get the same contents. Personally, I'd try to get the digital loopback working first, then if that's OK try the analog loopback point. -- Clifton -- Clifton Royston -- clift...@iandicomputing.com / clift...@volcano.org President - I and I Computing * http://www.iandicomputing.com/ Custom programming, network design, systems and network consulting services _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
