You need to find out what port your modem is on: dos port freebsd device com1 /dev/cuaa0 com2 /dev/cuaa1 com3 /dev/cuaa2 com4 /dev/cuaa3 Once you figure that out you need to put the appropriate device in your kernel.. kernel freebsd device sio0 /dev/cuaa0 sio1 /dev/cuaa1 sio2 /dev/cuaa2 sio3 /dev/cuaa3 Go read the manual on www.freebsd.org to learn how to configure your kernel :) -- Matthew Cashdollar <mattc@rfcnet.com> RF Communications, Inc. -- http://www.rfcinc.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
