Favoreal" To: freebsd-questions Subject: modems connected to BOCA 8-ports not responding Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk (Please respond to this address directly.) I have the following lines inserted in the kernel config: options "COM_MULTIPORT" ... device sio4 at isa? port 0x300 tty flags 0xb05 device sio5 at isa? port 0x308 tty flags 0xb05 device sio6 at isa? port 0x310 tty flags 0xb05 device sio7 at isa? port 0x318 tty flags 0xb05 device sio8 at isa? port 0x320 tty flags 0xb05 device sio9 at isa? port 0x328 tty flags 0xb05 device sio10 at isa? port 0x330 tty flags 0xb05 device sio11 at isa? port 0x338 tty flags 0xb05 I recompiled the kernel and rebooted. When the new kernel booted, sio4 upto sio11 were found in their respective ports. Then, I made a sequence of MAKEDEV. Now, I have devices cuaa4 upto cuaab ttyd4 upto ttydb Now, I tried to connect one modem to the BOCA board to test if the modem responds. I typed, echo at > /dev/ttyd4 and I saw no response. The modem's TR lights did not light up. I did this for all, from ttyd5 upto ttydb and to no luck, the modem's TR lights still did not light up. What could be wrong here? I hope I gave sufficient info with regard to this problem. Thank you in advance. -- jf
