When I installed the modem, under Win95, it got installed on COM3. I've recently installed FreeBSD 4.3 on another partition. I've been trying to set up PPP so that I can connect to my ISP. Since sio2=COM3 is disabled under the GENERIC kernel, this doesn't work. I compiled a new kernal in which I made only the following changes. 1) eliminated all cpus except I686_CPU 2) changed ident from GENERIC to STAUNTON 3) enabled sio2 with the line device sio2 at isa? port IO_COM3 irq 5 In other words, I removed the word 'disable' from the above line. The resulting kernel runs fine, but I still can't use the modem. Entering 'dmesg | grep sio2' returns sio2: configured irq 5 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0 Entering 'stty -f /dev/cuaa2 -a' returns stty: /dev/cuaa2: Device not configured I've read everything I can find on modems in 'The Complete FreeBSD' by Greg Lehey 3rd edition, and all the FAQs, tutorial, and handbook articles that I can find on the FreeBSD web site. Any help you can give me will be appreciated. TIA, Bob Hall Know thyself? Absurd direction!
