Now I am trying to get my winmodem to work. I've added the ltmdm driver (Lucent Winmodem) and made the corrections necessary so that it is loaded from /modules and not just in rc.d (as was recommended to me by someone who is familiar with running FBSD on this computer). I've read Dru Lavigne's article [http://www.onlamp.com/lpt/a/254]. It said that I needed to make a new kernel (MYKERNEL) if the modem was on COM3. According to Windows, mine is on COM3. It also asks for the IRQ, which Windows tells me the IRQ is 9 -- but then again it tells me most things are on IRQ 9 so I don't know if that means anything. So I edited MYKERNEL and removed the 'disable' for 'sio2' and I changed it to be irq 9 I did the MYKERNEL stuff and make depend/make/make install/reboot. When I checked dmesg it said: sio2: configured irq 9 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0 It said to replace "#" with my COM port "minus one", so then when I did the 'term /dev/cuaa#' I replaced the # with 2, thusly: term /dev/cuaa2 it said deflink: Entering terminal mode on /dev/cuaa1 Which seems wrong if I am reading the document correctly it should have said: deflink: Entering terminal mode on /dev/cuaa2 After "Type ~? for help" I tried to enter the ATDT command but absolutely nothing happened. I did this all as root and root and my user are both in the "dialer" group. Any help would be greatly appreciated TjL
