The USR Performance Pro is an $80 modem that has its own controller, yet it is a PCI, therefore FreeBSD has a tough time finding it. I have had a little success however. I gathered information from Windows98, which I run on the same machine, and applied as much of it as I could to the sio4 line in my kernel config file (because Windows says it is on COM5). And now I have this in my dmesg (these are only the meaningful lines): .... pci0: (vendor=0x12b9, dev=0x1008) at 12.0 irq 11 .... sio4 at port 0x6500-0x6507 irq 11 on isa0 sio4: type 16550A .... As you can see, it is now seeing a com port on sio4. Here is my only sio line in my kernel config file: device sio4 at isa? port 0x6500 irq11 That is the most amount of info I could put in the line without /usr/sbin/config giving me an syntax error mesg. I got that info from Windows98. When I try to test it with tip, I get the message "link down" and then it quits. So where should I go next?
