I have never tried this but you might give it a shot...Look up the defaults for the com ports that bsd uses and then run the dos program ICU (Intel pnp configuration utility) off a dos boot disk...Set it your SupraModem to whatever bsd is defaulting to. Hopefully when your machine boots up, your bios will set your pnp card to the address/irq you specified in the icu program and maybe then freebsd will recognize it at the default settings. *ACK* I hate pnp => good luck Jason Hudgins
