Those messages mean that the kernel thinks it is detecting a serial=20 port (com port), but that the irq isn't what it's expecting. You can=20 usually safely ignore those. The important bit for you is that it=20 detects your modem at sio4, so you'll want use sio4 (or cuaa4) in=20 whatever document you are using to get dial-up working. How are trying to get dial-up working? ppp? You'll probably want to have a look at the handbook (if you aren't=20 already). http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/userppp.html =2D -Mark =2D----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE/Q8bXF/yyV91po54RApFLAJ4+wxGTVjm63oB2Bg+OT4GXYbx61gCZAZMB 1xPb4Bai8BzyY2rQ9d212lI=3D =3DZCHr =2D----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
