Thanks Ales. I understood the the analogs between sioX and comX. And I understood that I needed to add or enable sio4 in the kernel. What I'm not sure about is how one adds the device. I tried performing ./MAKEDEV sio4 in the /dev directory and BSD responds with "no such device name." I then consulted THE COMPLETE FREEBSD on the subject of MAKEDEV. Table 13-4 Parameters for MAKEDEV doesn't specify sio as a device. The closest device that looks like it might be what I'm looking for is labeled "tty*" Is that what I want? The asterisk is a place holder for the number of general serial ports. If not how does one add an additional sioX port to the kernel? Do I have to build a custom kernel? Or is there some other way?
