Hello,

            I am having difficulties trying to install Freebsd (via
ftp).
        The following  problems exist:
           First, my first sio port (COM 1) is not found at boot time.
           Second, during ppp I use the " term"  command, but I
           cannot connect to the modem. Third, COM1 and COM3
           have the same interrupt. Any help would be appreciated.
