You really should be careful about using DOS terminology (COM{1,2,3,4}) here. In DOS COM3 & 4 use the same IRQs as COM1 & 2 but in FreeBSD the *default* IRQs are different. > I'm not sure if the modem even works, but I can't check that until > I get freebsd to acknowledge its existance. You must establish that it works! Maybe sio1 is not found because the modem doesn't work.
