Crook" To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: internal modem again Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I think I need to take this one small step at a time, especially considering I'm a complete newbie and I'm the guy who can't pour piss out of a boot. I'm going to try to be as explanatory as I can, but I know I'm going to wind up leaving out something. And yes, I'm the same guy in the 'modem on com 4' thread. I'll recap just to make sure: Freebsd 2.2.6, Acer Aspire. I fried my external 28.8 the other day by plugging in the wrong AC adaptor cord. I have a Wisecom 56k internal that I'm trying to use. It's not a winmodem as far as I can tell. The jumpers are set for non-pnp. It doesn't matter what serial port I use, as none of them are being used by anything right now. The switches on the back of the modem are set for COM2 right now, but I can easily change them. COM2 is disabled in the system setup. In my kernel sio0 is on irq 4 and sio1 is on irq 3. sio2 and sio3 are disabled. dmesg output shows that bsd is finding sio0, but not sio1. How, exactly, assuming I'm not doing it right so far, do I set everything so that this modem is actually on sio1? I'm not sure if the modem even works, but I can't check that until I get freebsd to acknowledge its existance. Is there somethign I have to set in the kernel in addition to the sio lines to use an internal modem, like a driver? Am I supposed to MAKEDEV or anything? I looked around in the handbook and it wasn't much help. It briefly goes into using serial ports, but it moves on assuming that I actually got the serial ports to set up correctly. I know this sounds melodramatic, but things just don't work like they're supposed to for me, computer related or otherwise. I've been trying to find another external modem to solve all of this, but I can't find anything around where I live. - Graey To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
