I just installed FreeBSD for the first time and can't get my modem to
work. 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
