(2) Disable both of your com ports (this always made it easier to see what was happening... (3) Make sure your kernel has the following controller pnp0 From GENERIC on 3.3-STABLE # Serial (COM) ports device sio0 at isa? port "IO_COM1" flags 0x10 tty irq 4 device sio1 at isa? port "IO_COM2" tty irq 3 device sio2 at isa? disable port "IO_COM3" tty irq 5 device sio3 at isa? disable port "IO_COM4" tty irq 9 Change the last two to : # Serial (COM) ports device sio2 at isa? port "IO_COM3" tty irq 5 device sio3 at isa? port "IO_COM4" tty irq 9 or possibly even: device sio2 at isa? port "IO_COM3" tty irq? device sio3 at isa? port "IO_COM4" tty irq? (I can't remember if this was/is allowed...) Again, apologies if this is just a rehash of what you already been doing, but this did work for me on a number of systems and a range of cheap modems.
