| I have a pentium system with a PnP bios. It runs Win95 on one partition | and I am working on getting FreeBSD on another. I am having a bit of a | problem with the modem however. It is a US Robotics Sportser internal | PnP modem. I can't say that I've got any great expertise here, but I do have USR Sportster 28.8 internal modem running under FreeBSD 2.1R. I don't run Win95 and have PnP disabled. | In Win95 I managed to get it working (after frobbing my sound | card config). Win95 reports it as being configured as: | | COM: 3 | IRQ: 5 | Address: 110 | UART: NS 16550AN | | When FreeBSD boots and probes sio2 it comes up with nothing. Could the | problem lie in the Address? If so, what would be the appropriate | 'port' in the kernel config? Help? :) For what it's worth, my kernel config is: device sio0 at isa? port "IO_COM1" tty irq 4 vector siointr device sio1 at isa? port "IO_COM2" tty irq 3 vector siointr # enabled sio2 but changed irq from 5 to 7 to install USR modem: device sio2 at isa? port "IO_COM3" tty irq 7 vector siointr # device sio3 at isa? port "IO_COM4" tty irq 9 vector siointr I believe I had to play around a few jumpers (as per the USR manual for "NOT Using PnP"). I forget why exactly I chose 7, but it works OK for me. Sorry I don't have anything to offer re: Win95 and PnP coexistence. Russ Murphy
