Could be. I've had a problem like this during testing of the new
driver, and the problem was basically that DCD's change wasn't getting
back-propogated down to ppp_tty.c. That, of course, was fixed.

This is with an internal modem? Maybe it's not asserting DCD, or it's
doing it differently. The ppp system will expect DCD to be asserted by
the modem. I hope it's not that Apple put the DCD connection in a
different register...

Does someone have all the modem strings for these modems?

Take care,
