X-Mailer: USANET web-mailer (M3.0.0.70) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I am definitely making progress on this. I am trying to get my PnP m= odem to work under 3.1-Release. O.K. we have recompiled the kernel with "controller pnp0" the pnp id is in sio.c ...and the modem does actually s= how up in my dmesg when I boot up. (Dance of joy!) Now the modem shows up at sio4. I technically only have 2 serial po= rts (which MS-Windows would call com 1-4), and I do not have any funky multi-= port cards or anything. = Now the modem takes up the irq and the memory access address of sio1= (irq 3, starting at 02f8) I have sio1 disabled via /boot/kernel.config, so I don't even probe for it. (it is not disabled in the kernel itself -= but I could do that if it would help.) = My question is, can I just "./MAKEDEV cua5" and leave the modem at s= io4, or do I have to do something more complicated to get the modem to show up= on another, more nominal, serial port? And if I have to mess with the setti= ngs on the pnp modem, how would I go about that? (It would have to be a soft= ware solution, as there is no way to change the serial port settings on the hardware device itself.) I am hoping that I can just make new device entries, but I am a Un*x= newbie and am timid about running super user functions, as I might screw things up. I am a good little do-bee and read my docs, but I am unsure a= bout this one. Please guide. = Marius = All life is a dance; = I just wish I wasn't so clumsy. ____________________________________________________________________ Get your own FREE, personal Netscape WebMail account today at http://webm= ail.netscape.com.
