It is a USR Sportster 33.6 modem without Plug and Play support that works fine under Windows NT. I am using version 2.2.2 of FreeBSD. I have tried putting it on all different com ports and at different IRQ settings. Originally, I used the default settings on the modem. Com 2 IRQ 3. That didn't work so I enabled the sio2 and sio3 ports. I used the sio2 default (0x3e8-0x3ef, IRQ 5). I then changed the jumpers on the modem to the com3 irq 5 settings. I tried com4, irq 5. There are no conflicts. Everything looks ok at boot. ex: On com 4, IRQ 5 the sio thing looks like: sio3 at 0x2e8-0x2ef irq 5 on isa sio3: type 16550A I always have the same problem I start user process ppp and then type "term". It looks like it is working, but when I type "AT" or other modem commands nothing happens. The AT doesn't appear on the screen, the modem doesn't say or do anything. Does "ifconfig: interface ppp0 does not exist" during boot mean anything? BTW, how do I get rid of that annoying "login: login_getclass: unknown class 'root'" message when I log in? Thank you, Beth I am not gay, communist, or a spammer. If you don't know what I mean don't worry about it. --------------------------------------------------------- Get Your *Web-Based* Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ---------------------------------------------------------
