I now realize that my PROBLEM is that the OS is NOT DETECTING that I have a USR 56K EXTERNAL MODEM hooked up to my serial port 2. Thus, when I do a dmesg, my sio1 doesn't detect the modem. ***How do I get the OS to detect the modem on the serial port?*** I have come across files such as etc/modems, etc/serial.rc and others that seem related, but none of its clear, I know something needs to be edited, just not which file, or even where to look on the freebsd website for the answer. Please note this is NOT a PPP issue and the answer is not in any ppp tutorial. Using ppp assumes that your modem is being correctly detected already.
