Then I recompiled the kernel with some additional options : device pcm #For some reason it comes without any sound driver compiled into kernel! device puc #A driver for various PCI cards , for my 3Com hardware modem is a PCI card , not ISA.And it seemes that you cannot do too much with the sio driver itself -- it just does what it does and if it would . As I did all this and built a new kernel, everything went just fine!First of all,the resulting sound driver coped rather easily with my onboard integrated audiocodec CMI9738 AC'97 and the next KDE welcomed me with s o u n d rather than saying "/dev/dsp is not found!". And the puc-driver was able to tell more about the modem than sio had told formrerly.It seems that sio-driver could then use the results of the puc-driver's work. And the KPPP didn't hang the whole system when doing "query modem" ,but was able then to query it,though the device itself always makes its serial port on COM5,or /dev/ttyS4 in Linux,so it was now at cuaa4.This message I'm sending from my well-functioning FreeBSD 5.1 system and thank everybody who put forth effort to create it. Now to summarize: My systim includes motherboard L4IBMG3,i845G chipset,onboard video(device agp delt with that),audio -- device pcm handled this,2 PCI slots,several USB-ports I haven't dealt with, yet.And USRobotics 3Com 3CP5609 PCI 56K hardware modem making port COM5 -- all this stuff is rather recently produced,I purchased it last year. additional kernel options: device pcm device puc device apicam #to enable CD-writer through SCSI emulation interface And during all this turmoil I got pretty well acquainted with FreeBSD system as compared with Linux.And I like it much better!It loads internet site quicker than ASPLinux does.The kernel is even larger,but the systim runs quicker. I'm sending the dmesg output to finish with all this.Hopefully, it will be useful.Thanks so much.
