Those messages mean that the kernel thinks it is detecting a serial port (com port), but that the irq isn't what it's expecting. You can usually safely ignore those. The important bit for you is that it detects your modem at sio4, so you'll want use sio4 (or cuaa4) in 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 already). http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/userppp.html - -Mark -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE/Q8bXF/yyV91po54RApFLAJ4+wxGTVjm63oB2Bg+OT4GXYbx61gCZAZMB 1xPb4Bai8BzyY2rQ9d212lI= =ZCHr -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
