Very Computer

I apologize for being a bit off topic, but the Win newsgroups don't seem to
have the technical expertise found here :)

Does anyone know of how to get Win95 DUN to connect via a Null Modem to PPPD?

I'm running Win95 (osr2) on a laptop and am trying to connect to
my FreeBSD 2.2.1 using PPPD.

At present I have to connect a modem to the Laptop, go through all the modem
handshaking, then unplug the modem and quickly plug in the Null Modem - and
then it works....

I was wondering if anyone knew of a Null Modem driver for Win95, or should I
give up and write a script to make the PPPD pretend to do the modem
handshaking?

Thanks

Nigel

Sorry, did not you know, that sysadmins are not allowed to use
Windoz? Don't even try to hide, the special squad has already been
dispatched.

Seriously, I recall mentioning of Null-modem somewhere under the
Networking icon in Control Panel. Try using Visual Grep++ to find
it. :) Or look in the "Reference for the Rest of Them"...

This is working quite well for me.  Does your cable have all of the modem
control lines wired up?  I initially tried to get things working with a 3-wire
cable I had lying around, without much success.  Everything is funky with the
7-wire cable.

Cheers,
