I have never noticed something like that. The OS "sees" the _serial port_ devices and assigns a device in /dev, but the modem itself does not cause any further action. I've been using an Elsa Microlink serial modem in the past. By the time the serial subsystem in FreeBSD changed, I didn't use it anymore, but I assume /dev/cuau0, /dev/cuau0.init and /dev/cuau0.lock should be present when the serial port is configured correctly. See "man 4 sio" for details. A ppp "session protocol" would also be interesting for diagnosis purposes. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
