>Environment:

The system is a Micron P-166 Home MPC.  It is a PCI (trition) based system.
The system shipped with an internal modem, a Supra Plug-n-Play 28.8 fax
modem.

	

>Description:

The kernel doesn't find the fax modem when it probes for devices at boot
time.  It finds the serial port.  

I have an identical system with Linux loaded.  Under linux, I have to turn
off the Plug-n-play O/S support and disable the com2 port in the bios setup
in order to access the modem (it defaults to com2 and can't be changed
without plug-n-play support).  I tried the same thing under freebsd
(disabling pnp and the on-board com2 port) and it is not finding the modem.

	

>How-To-Repeat:

Boot the system. :-)
