In windows 95 open the System properties panel, then open the modem under the devices tab and write down the information under resources. Reboot to FreeBSD and quick type in -c at the boot: prompt. Enter whichever mode you prefer and type in those settings you read from the modem resources tab into the appropriate fields for the modem. When done, quit and continue booting freebsd. If successful, your modem should be /dev/cuaa1. -- Eric Hodel hodeleri@seattleu.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
