However, after reboot it, system showed me messages => =>"sio2: configure irq5 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0" =>"sio3: configure irq9 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0" => =>When I link modem to /dev/cuaa2 and /dev/cuaa2, I was showed error messages =>" device not configured" You've gotten a bit confused about these (or do I say your questions are confusing?).....it is better to take the steps one at a time. If your modem is a PCI modem and a WINMODEM then it will never work. Can we start from there? I am not sure where the key 'disable' is.... Then you can also read the LINT file...it is a bit confusing at times. Can I hand-hold you from a starting point to some point when I am unable to help you then you can revert to the list again? This list has assisted me so I guess to some extent I can assist you.

This may not be the path for everyone. But the trust of which we speak is not an act of heroism. it is an act of surrender that makes the decision easier. It sounds unbelieveable, but I know it to be true. Leave the decision to God and you relieve yourself of the anxiety that comes from thinking that the choice is yours - the sneaking suspicion that you might have done better had you been a little more careful, a little luckier. -William McGurn, "The Gift of a Child, Readers' Digest" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
