Ignore what Winblows says. It changes things to suit itself. I've
seen my (internal) modem show up as COM5 (!) in W95. Check what
FreeBSD finds it as during boot (use ``dmesg''), e.g here's mine:

marder-1:/etc{58}% dmesg

sio0 at 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on isa
sio0: type 16550A
sio1 at 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on isa
sio1: type 16550A
sio2 at 0x3e8-0x3ef irq 9 on isa
sio2: type 16550A

sio2 is my modem and therefore is /dev/cuaa2 (or which ever device
it turns out to be) Also check that /dev/cuaa2 exists. If not then
as root:

	# cd /dev
	# ./MAKEDEV cuaa2
