Try

	ip/ppp -b b57600 ...

for example.

You should be able to start dns after ppp and have
things just work.

[9fans] Modem line in for Xirom Modem + Ethernet REM-56G-10(?)

[Axel Belinfante]

Unfortunately the card is now stuck in the laptop,
and I'm using it to type this message, so I cannot read the
label on it, but its a 'thick' Xircom 16-bit Ethernet + Modem 56,
(10 Mb/s Ethernet). To get it working I just added the string
	"REM10",
in the modems[] array in /sys/src/9/pc/pcmciamodem.c.

Then it is automatically found by the new kernel that includes
this change.
Somehow I just get a 9600 baud connection, but that
might be some setup/options lacking when I invoke ppp?

Sidenote: I encountered the same ppp problem I mentioned
before on this list: unresponsive remote ppp daemon,
which I (again) crudely fixed by putting also a HDLC_frame
character at the start of each frame (actually, just one
at the start of the very first frame oover the line seems
already to do the trick I discovered previously using 3e).

Question: I'm still confused about the exact command
sequence needed to make ndb work once the ppp connection
is up and running -- somehow I have to do some manual
trickery to get dns resolving working. Is there a quick
'recipe' for this?

Axel.
