XP reports it as: "PCI Slot 2 PCI Bus 1, Device 1, function 0" on "COM3") FreeBSD seems to see it: $ dmesg|grep "^sio" sio0: <16550A-compatible COM port> port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on acpi0 sio0: type 16550A (it is /dev/cuaa0 on FreeBSD) However, it will not respond to calls. Checking the mgetty log, I see this: -- 01/04 12:46:55 aa0 mgetty: experimental test release 1.1.31-Jul24 01/04 12:46:55 aa0 check for lockfiles 01/04 12:46:55 aa0 locking the line 01/04 12:46:56 aa0 WARNING: DSR is off - modem turned off or bad cable? 01/04 12:46:56 aa0 lowering DTR to reset Modem 01/04 12:46:57 aa0 send: ATS0=0Q0&D3&C1[0d] 01/04 12:46:57 aa0 waiting for ``OK'' 01/04 12:47:17 aa0 timeout in chat script, waiting for `OK' 01/04 12:47:17 aa0 init chat timed out, trying force-init-chat 01/04 12:47:17 aa0 send: \d[10][03]\d\d\d+++\d\d\d[0d]\dATQ0V1H0[0d] 01/04 12:47:21 aa0 waiting for ``OK'' 01/04 12:47:41 aa0 timeout in chat script, waiting for `OK' 01/04 12:47:41 aa0 init chat failed, exiting...: Interrupted system call 01/04 12:47:41 ##### failed in mg_init_data, dev=cuaa0, pid=6780 -- (that repeated periodically) All of which is trying to be very helpful, except that I have no idea what it is telling me. The modem is not turned "off" as far as I know (it's an internal PCI card modem) and the only cable is the phone cable, which works fine. Can someone suggest how I might troubleshoot this? My only thought is to disable mgetty and try to connect directly to the modem, but my sense is that the modem would not respond and I'd still not know what to do. Thanks in advance for any pointers TjL
