I'm using a Xircom CreditCard Ethernet 10/100+Modem 56. It installs itself in Win98 as COM5 and I've verified that the connection works using a terminal program. However, the freebsd installation menu from the boot disk does not allow me to access COM5. Is there any way to get around this problem? -Peter To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
