I should have added that if you set it to "Enabled" you may well find your modem appears on a different IRQ (possibly 5 or 11). This may get it working in FreeBSD but as soon as you run Windows again it will probably go back to IRQ3. One way to make the change permanent would be to completely remove the modem in Windows, reboot and go into the BIOS, set to "Enabled", exit the BIOS (which reboots), and go into Windows, which will "Find new hardware". If the IRQ the BIOS assigned is unused by Windows you may be lucky and Windows may use it (but Windows may change it anyway in which case, unless it uses something other than IRQ 3, you are back where you started). -- 4.4 - The number of the Beastie ________________________________________________________________ 51.44°N FreeBSD - The Power To Serve http://www.freebsd.org 2.057°W My Webpage http://ukug.uk.freebsd.org/~mark mailto:marko@freebsd.org http://www.radan.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
