XP has special driver for that external modem to work. It is not supported in FreeBSD as far as I have seen. There is no such thing as USB-serial modem. External modem is connected to motherboard by serial cable or USB cable. Serial external modem works right out of the box and USB external modem are all winmodems. There is a port ltmdm which works for a limited number of PCI winmodems but nothing for USB-winmodems. You are SOL. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Warren Block Sent: Thursday, June 08, 2006 9:29 AM To: Steve Bertrand Cc: 'John Andrewartha'; 'freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG' Subject: RE: USB-Serial ??

He said it was USB, which should be /dev/ucom0. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
