(Along with ttyl0) Of course it doesn't work if the driver doesn't attach. If Paul runs "dmesg | grep ltmdm" he should see a line like -> ltmdm0: <Lucent Winmodem> port 0xe800-0xe8ff,0xecb8-0xecbf mem 0xf8ffec00-0xf8ffecff irq 11 at device 8.0 on pci8 ltmdm0: type Virtual 16550A If not it wasn't detected. In that case it either isn't a lucent winmodem, or, if it is the PCI ID isn't known. BTW while on general principle I don't like win modems etc, these ones DO seem to work quite well. -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 9A8C 569F 685A D928 5140 AE4B 319B 41F4 5D17 FDD5 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
