Yes, it's an internal.  I had to disable the first on-board 'com port'
through BIOS to get FBSD to recongnize it as cuaa0.  The MB is fairly new.
I just purchased it in March.  It has the most current BIOS offered by
ASUS.

FWIW, tonight as I wrote this reply I ran into some strange unexplained
problems with net connectivity with my ISP.  I was able to connect w/
on-demand and then ping both my ISP and an 'outside' sever, ie, my school
(haywire.csuhayward.edu), but I couldn't telnet into either.

When I attempted the telnet I got to the point where both servers would
show the escape char and then would hang until the the other server timed
out.

This was corrected by 'killing' the ppp on-demand and dialing into a
different server for my ISP.  Conversations with my ISP's Customer Service
dept. couldn't figure out what was going on.
