Pardon me for saying this, but that sounds QUITE screwed up. When I installed an ISA hardware modem in my dial-up router, I didn't have to change any of the motherboard's BIOS settings, period. Just install the card, reboot, have FreeBSD come up, recompile the kernel to support the sio port that the modem defaulted to, and go. Nothing as complicated as you're talking about. --- Andy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
