Moffet" Message-Id: <200001090008.QAA00441@moffetimages.com> To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: COnfiguring a US Robotics 56K fax modem Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I was trying to figure out how to configure a 3com/US Robotics modem to work with FreeBSD 3.3, and thought I would share what I found with others on this list. The modem type is 3CP5610, which is a 16550 based modem card, not a winmodem. In other words, it appears to the OS as a PCI serial card. In order to install this card, I booted the kernel with boot -v, for verbose mode. That gave me the following information: found-> vendor=0x12b9, dev=0x1008, revid=0x01 class=07-00-02, hdrtype=0x00, mfdev=0 subordinatebus=0 secondarybus=0 intpin=a, irq=3 map[0]: type 4, range 32, base 0000e800, size 3 which is the modem card (pciconf and your BIOS will help you find this out). After finding this out, I went to the manual, and read how to configure my serial port 2 (sio2) as base address 0xe800, and irq3. recompile the kernel with the /usr/sbin/config, make depend, make, and make install. When I rebooted, the serial port was recognized. verifying this with cu -l /dec/cuaa2 as root, typing the command 'atz' and verifying that I received the expected "OK". so, if anyone else wishes to use this information, I hope it is helpful.
