I just installed FreeBSD 4.7 on my HP OmniBook 4150 laptop and
everything runs well. I have an external modem that I connect to the
COM1 port (/dev/cuaa0) and I'm able to phone to my ISP without a
problem.
This laptop came with a pc-card modem that I'd like to get working, so
that I don't have to drag around the external. It's a
Xircom RealPort Ethernet 10/100+Modem 56
As near as I can tell, the system supports and recognizes this card (I
get beeps and useful looking messages whenever I insert or remove it).
However, It's not clear to me what device it's associated with. I'm
thinking that If I knew the device, all I would have to do is change the
line
set device /dev/cuaa0
in my ppp.conf file to reflect the pc-card device and everything would
work. Is there more to it than this? All the literature I've been able
to find on PPP just talks about serial communications. I have no
experience with pcmcia devices.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Mike
