Hi all I have an IBM pcmcia data/fax modem (US Robotics technology) -- "V.34 33.6 Kbps/56 Kbps with XJack Connector" that probes in dmesg as sio4.=20 However, the scan also yields the following message: sio4: unable to activate interrupt in fast mode -- using normal mode which seems to come from src/sys/dev/sio/sio.c, indicating that my modem supports INTR_TYPE_TTY but not INTR_FAST. What is the significance of INTR_FAST, and could its absence cause any difficulties in using ppp? I don't really want to do much research at the moment since I'm on dial-up, and I don't have local access to the src tree, only the cgiweb applet. (Incedentally, my problem with ppp is that after entering username and password, I get some info, such as an IP address, but ppp does not return to a prompt -- it seems to hang; this happens at 115200 and 38400 baud (or the recommended values near those if my memory fails me), so I don't think it's a speed problem) Sorry I don't have more info about the modem, but since WinXP can't mount ufs, I don't have a good way to get, say, dmesg or pciconf information about this card. The numbers on the outside of the card are: 10661AS723YF IBM Modem FRU: 04K0054 Googling these didn't reveal anything terribly helpful, though it implied that this chipset was actually a winmodem, which would be surprising. Thanks Ben Kaduk
