I could have gone with an external modem, but the PCI modem was 3x of my original purchase and the external was 4x the cost. But in the end, I may have to get an external modem..see below. So, after installing the new modem, I get the same results as before: > > sio2: configured irq 5 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0 > > sio2 not found at 0x3e8 > > sio3: configured irq 9 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0 > > sio3 not found at 0x2e8 > > By the fact that the modem hasnt shown up I would guess its a winmodem but > I dont know. Does the modem work under windows? So, I am 99.9999% positive that this is a real modem, yet it does not show up. So, now what? Seems I have 2 options. 1) play with IRQ settings 2) get fbsd to probe for other IRQs (from above, irq 9 not in bitmap of probed irqs) Can you suggest which I should do (with instructions)?
