Read the LINT file, or check the handbook for kernel recompilation.

There's a very good chance that it is a Winmodem; it would be interesting to hear how you go. > One of the mailing-list messages says to add the modem's > PnP ID to the serial driver table in /sys/i386/isa/sio.c to > activate the modem.

Insert the pnp id into there. I have nfi how you get the card ID though: pnpinfo is for ISA devices. > I also tried manual boot-time configuration using > pnp 18 0 enable bios But pnp command is nolonger valid > at boot -c in FBSD 4.0. Indeed. Its a bit of a pain that the pnp man page doesn't say that in 4.0 this doesn't exist. Oh well... > Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
