I hope this isn't too dumb a question, but I haven't found more than a
fragment of an answer so far.

I'm converting from Linux to FreeBSD and would like to get my PCI modem
working. It's not a brain-dead WinModem; I had it working under
Linux. (it's a USR 56K PCI) I'm just not sure how to do the same thing in
FreeBSD.

In Linux, I found out the IRQ and port by

cat /proc/pci

And then added to my init scripts

setserial /dev/ttyS1 irq 9 port 0x1051 autoconfig

And everything was fine. Now, under FreeBSD, I assume I want to configure
my serial port in the kernel config file and recompile. OK, but how do I
do that? My example file shows, among other things,

device         si01       at isa? port IO_COM2 irq 3

I assume this is the line I want to change, but I'm not sure how to ram
the info I got from Linux into this config file. Do I need something
special to tell it it's a PCI modem? I did some experimenting with
embarrassing results.

Thanks!
