On my FreeBSD 2.2.7 machine I have an internal 56K modem (Viva
CommCenter).  This works fine on COM3 on Windows, but will not work on
FreeBSD.  The settings were changed in the kernel to the proper irq
settings (according to the Windows settings) yet in the boot sequence
the message would indicate that "irq 11 not in bitmap of probed irqs"
and "sio2 not found."

Looking at the information on the FreeBSD site, I tried enabling PnP
detection by adding "controller pnp0."  Following this, it would find
the modem, and gave the following information:
CSN 1 Vendor ID CPI4173 0x7341090e Serial 0xd0959b5
CSN 1 disabled.

I added the new id number and a description string to the
/sys/i386/isa/sio.c file, and I also changed the "sio2" line in the
kernel so that it would not take the PnP card's IRQ.  The FreeBSD site
also stated that I may have to add a manual configuration command in the
boot-time configuration like:
pnp 1 0 enable os irq0 3 drq0 0 port0 0x2f8

However, I can not seem to get anything to work, and FreeBSD does not
communicate with my modem.  Any advice would be welcome.

Thanks,
