next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
Please read the posts to the message board at bsdvault.net no one seems
to be able to help there but I hope that someone here can I have somewhere
in this message the output of the "dmesg" command and the type of modem
in my computer. I would like to know if the modem will work in FreeBSD,
how to get it to work and if its a WinModem and if so if that problem can
be bypassed and how. Thank you. If any more information is needed just send
a reply and I'll do my best to get you what you need. I'm new to the hole
UNIX OS I knew a little about it when I got it but not enough for this apparently.
:-( I just hope someone can help.

again reposted. Please if you reply don't forget to look back or I could
just keep reposting it don't really matter that much I guess. But I REALLY
need help and this is the only way I know to get it.

I want to use Kernel PPP to connect to my ISP. The ppp daemon's default
device to route to the modem is /dev/cuaa1 but I think that is the com port
on the port replicator on the back of my new laptop. I'm new to FreeBSD
and UNIX. I dont know how to get my modem to work because it is an internal
modem that came installed into the laptop (not an uncommon thing nowdays)
someone plz help. how can I find my modem in this vast UNIX world?
It is
not a PCMCIA card. Th jack is right in the side of my laptop here is the
output of that dmesg.

I can't give you any help on ppp since I have never used a modem in *BSD.
Among (Free|Net|Open)BSD, only FreeBSD doesn't have sound support out-of-the-box.
That means you need to recompile a custom kernel to add sound support.
Try to add the following two lines (
no more, no less)in your kernel configure file:
device pcm
device sbc0 at isa? port 0x220 irq5 drq1 flags 0x15
I assume it's not a PCI card.
