If so, then you are in trouble, you can not use WinModems (and most PCI modems are WinModems) with FreeBSD. If your modem is not WinModem, then it just emulates one of serial ports. More information you can find in instruction manual of your modem. You don't need special device nodes for modems yet (but, I think, when and if winmodems will be supported in FreeBSD, we'll have device nodes) -- Igor Roboul, Unix System Administrator & Programmer @ sanatorium "Raduga", Sochi, Russia http://www.brainbench.com/transcript.jsp?pid=304744 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
