Hello,

Do you actually have four serial ports? Most computers come with two or
less. Is the modem internal or external? If it is internal, it is
almost certainly a "winmodem", meaning it needs to do signal processing
through calls to the Windows OS, and most probably won't work under
FBSD. If it is external, what happens if you connect to one of the
ports that are detected?

Regards,

Stheg
