Cardinal comes to mind. What kind of modem are you using? The solution was to increase some of the DELAY() calls in sioprobe(). If you go into user config, and set the flags to 0x80, you'll see which test the probe is failing at. If this is the problem, you may need to edit /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/sio.c Look for the comment /* EXTRA DELAY? */ in the function sioprobe() :-) This of course may not be your particular situation but it's worth a try. -Archie ___________________________________________________________________________ Archie Cobbs * Whistle Communications, Inc. * http://www.whistle.com
