This question should be directed to freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org =

(cc'd), and please send mail in plain text.

It sounds like your modem is not functional.  USR Sportsters are =

certainly supported - I used one for years.  You need to ``dmesg | =

fgrep sio'' to see if the device is being probed.  If not, you can =

boot with -v and check out which probes are failing, but it's most =

likely due to a misconfigured IRQ.
