The machine has an old internal modem attached to it, which I am having a hard time taking out (its an old Packard Bell). On reading the comp manual, I came to know that this is on COM1 . I fixed my new 56 K internal modem to the expansion slot (isa) after booting up freebsd shows sio1 irq 3 0x2eF8 or smthg I am not sure. I guess these are the COM2 Settings. I set the jumpers on the internal modem appropiately to COm 2 irq, Addr etc). But on reading the FreeBSD manual: sio0 through sio3 are the four serial ports referred to as COM1 through COM4 in the MS-DOS world. Note that if you have an internal modem on COM4 and a serial port at COM2 you will have to change the IRQ of the modem to 2 (for obscure technical reasons IRQ 2 = IRQ 9) in order to access it from FreeBSD. If you have a multiport serial card, check the manual page for sio(4) for more information In my comp COM1/COM4 appears to be the same and can be interchanged by setting the approp jumpers on the motherboard. Is the arrangement I have fine . Can I ask the dialup progs to just use /dev/cuaa1 without any interference from the old internal modem Thanks in Advance Deepu (o o) -----------------------------oOO--(_)--OOo---------------------------- Deepu Sebastian Joseph Graduate Student Department of Engineering Mechanics 317, Nebraska Hall University of Nebraska - Lincoln NE - 68588, USA Office: 127.4C WSEC Email:dsj@engunx.unl.edu --------------------------------------------------------------------- Today is the tomorrow you worried about --------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
