Hello, I already tried that (well, almost...). I downloaded the ltmdm-1.4.tgz file and worked with that instead of the port. After inserting the line You suggested I rebooted, and got the modem recognized (shows up in dmesg etc), but then I got: "could not find ioport base reg" (line 1194 in ltmdmsio.c) I also did some research (better name for "surfing" :-) ) and found this page: http://www.sfu.ca/~cth/ltmodem/ which says that AMR modems are not supported. As my Windows 2000 says "Toshiba software modem AMR", I guess this is a rather strong indication that I'm having bad luck here, or do You have any other ideas? --Borje On Wed, 03 Apr 2002 20:47:17 BST Gavin Atkinson wrote: > On Mon, 1 Apr 2002, Borje Josefsson wrote: > > > I am trying to get FreeBSD 4.5 working on a Toshiba Portege 2000.
