I had an Asus socket-7 board with Award BIOS that I used it on without problems. When I installed my new Tyan BX Slot1 board with AMI LoseBIOS, the problem occurred. I had the modem on port 3E8 (COM3), IRQ 2/9. I tried changing every IRQ related setting in the BIOS and couldn't ever get it to work correctly. I finally had to disable the second COM port and stick the modem there using IRQ 3. Has worked fine ever since I did that. I really wish I could get it to work on IRQ 2/9, but it might be impossible with this board/BIOS (I don't even think it worked in Windows, so it doesn't appear to be a FreeBSD problem). -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet.
