I downloaded ltmdm-1.4.tgz from the port maintainer's web-site and installed it with the ports system. It appears to install with one warning: Object directory not changed from original /usr/ports/comms/ltmdm/work/sys/modules/ltmdm Upon rebooting the modem is not detected (no mention in "dmesg | grep ltmdm") but the ltmdm module is loaded. I have tried: 1) re-configuring the kernel with different sio options 2) re-installing the system and installing the port with the GENERIC kernel. 3) playing around with the laptop's BIOS settings in conjunction with (1). All to no avail. I have a couple of questions though: 1) what version of the BIOS are you using? I have version 9.30 and perhaps this is significant? 2) do you have any particular options enabled in your kernel configuration file? My next move will be to contact the port maintainer. Thanks once again, Ian.-
