Just because your modem is comm2 in windows doesn't me that it's the same in freebsd. What does it say on the screen at bootup about "sioX" where X is a number. For many of us, the modem is detected as sio4 and so would be /dev/cuaa4 as far as ppp is concerned. -Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: Jeroen Ruigrok/Asmodai [SMTP:asmodai@wxs.nl] > Sent: Saturday, November 13, 1999 7:56 AM > To: Adrian Parker > Cc: questions@freebsd.org > Subject: Re: No modem? > > -On [19991110 00:01], Adrian Parker (jedi@brockville.com) wrote: > >Perhaps someone can help me. > > I can.
