I'm not on my freebsd machine currently, so I can't give you exact configuration stuff. But here's some stuff to try: * Turn off the "PNP OS" setting in your bios, and make sure that the bios is assigning the addresses/irqs properly. * Disable your serial port(s) from the bios. Since your modem is internal, it doesn't need the external serial port connections * I've found that disabling or enabling the serial ports in the kernel (sio0-N) didn't seem to make much of a difference. YMMV, though. * make sure you're not getting IRQ conflicts with other cards. dmesg won't necessary report anything nasty when cards are on the same IRQ. Rearrange cards if necessary. Some mobo's share irq's based on what slot the card is in. Figure out what works together... be sure to check your other devices each time as well, as they might just stop working. * don't be surprised if on bootup, when everything is finally working, it detects your modem on one serial port, ie: sio1 (COM2 usually), and and reports that its moving it to sio4, which you wouldn't expect. Just make sure you choose the proper COM (cuaa) port when you're testing. * try without the "flags" line initially. I didn't have to use it. Let me know if you still have problems, as I can give you the exact kernel config stuff then. later, dan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
