I am using FreeBDS 4.0 GENERIC kernel with two Aopen 56k PCI PnP modems that do not have jumpers to set com or irq. Want to use one for dial out connection to my ISP (com1 cuaa1) and the other to accept dial in calls (com2 tty1). Want this FreeBDS server to function like an ISP server using modems instead of NIC over T1. After the BIOS Post completes the PC Bios PCI Device Listing for the two modems shows Bus No Device No Func No Vendor Id Device ID IRQ Device Class 0 18 0 127A 1005 12 Simple Comm. Controller 0 19 0 127A 1005 5 Simple Comm. Controller During the startup of FreeBSD the Probe issues the following Messages pci0 <unknown card> (vendor=0x127a, dev=0x1005) at 18.0 irq 12 pci0 <unknown card> (vendor=0x127a, dev=0x1005) at 19.0 irq 5 I also get this same Info when I issue command pciconf -l My questions are what is FreeBSD trying to tell me with these msgs? What is the PnP ID for each modem? What do I have to do to activate modems, assign them device names, and setup modem to dial my ISP at bootup using Kernel PPP and setup the second modem to answer dial in calls using Kernel PPP? Blind alleys I have gone down. I have read a lot of mailing-list messages dealing with PnP modems being WINmodems and that they just don't work with any release of FreeBSD. This sure was true with 3.4 and older FreeBSD versions but Version 4.0 says this has been fixed. Version 4.0 was just released in March 2000 and the documentation has not been updated to give info on how to get it to work in FBSD4. One of the mailing-list messages says to add the modem's PnP ID to the serial driver table in /sys/i386/isa/sio.c to activate the modem. Well version 4.0 does not have a file sio.c in that directory path. This must be out of date info. I also tried manual boot-time configuration using pnp 18 0 enable bios But pnp command is nolonger valid at boot -c in FBSD 4.0. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
