During rebooting FreeBSD identified my Modem as ugen0 ( but not umodem0 as i expected ). I tried to use it with PPP anyway. I added it to my ppp.conf file as "set device umodem0" ( so PPP replied with wrong file descriptor ) and "set device ugen0" ( what made my system reboot when dialing ). > > How can I make a use of my modem? You probably can't. FreeBSD's umodem support only works for modems that support the ACM standard. If your modem isn't recognized at boot as a umodem when you have USB modem support - one or both of uhci or ohci, plus usb and umodem - in the kernel, then it isn't responding to the queries the way an ACM modem should. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
