There are two ideas that *might* work for you. First, go to /dev and rm all cuaa devices, then remake them. OR, in the kernel config, there are usually several sio entries. Leave only the first one, and recompile. If that doesn't work, remove all after the second one. When i did the first idea, my modem ended up on cuaa4 for some reason, but at least it worked. After removing the sio lines after the first one, it returned to cuaa1 where it belonged. YMMV. jm -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Jonathon McKitrick -- jcm@freebsd-uk.eu.org "Investigators have discovered the cause of the TWA 800 explosion was a frayed wire.
