Greetings,
Just a note to let you know that Bob Nestor (thankyou so much!) worked
out what the problem was.
I needed to send the "AT&D" command to the modem. The modem, and IPNAT
now works wonderfully, serving my whole network. :]
Well... nearly wonderfully. ;]
Having done various searches, and from this list, it seems everyone
finds PPP to be a shade slow on NetBSD/mac68k. Or perhaps not?
I certainly am finding it a little slow, downloading things seems to
really throttle the connection.

I seem to be getting lots of these silo overflows. However, I have the
serial port speed set to "56700", should I decrease this? Will that not
throttle my modem even more than now?
I believe also that the "AT&R" command may make it work better? Will it
matter if I put this before or after the "AT&D" command in the dial
string?
Should I make my own cable rather than this strange adaptor thing?
Any other comments?
It's a Quadra 650, by the way.
Thanks for your help, all.
