modem problem

[Elijah Plunkett]

Hi Bruce!

try typing in "add default HISADDR" at the "PPP>" prompt (as in once it 
is authenticated and connected).

I couldn't get stuff to work until i typed this in, then data flowed 
sweetly.

>I have a P3-500 computer and a USR Robotics Hayes U5686 modem. The modem works perfect on Win 98, Win XP and Redhat9, but on FreeBSD its works a little strange. I have FreeBSD 4.7, 4.8 and 5.1. I plug the moden into a sio port, I type ppp and term, then AT, OK comes back and I type ATD3039514014, the modem dials and connects (I enter user name and passwork), the small ppp's grow to large PPPs and I am connected. Even though I am connected, no data flows(ever). Thats the problem. Theres no link between the modem and the computer. I thought of using ifconfig to add a route. After thinking for a while, I couldn't figure out 'how to'.
