I don't think there is a /dev/sio* set of devices, you access your modem
through /dev/cuaa1 if it is on the second serial port. But are you
saying that `dmesg | grep sio1' doesn't show it anyway?

I hope you didn't run `MAKEDEV sio1'? You'll need `MAKEDEV cuaa1'

Just download the source and build a custom kernel, are you saying you
haven't done this yet? Among other things, building my own kernel has
made my hard disks shitloads faster. :-) As well as getting rid of all
the network card crud which I have no need for
