Hi, I'm a user of FreeBSD 2.x (several 2.0, 2.1 systems, and now three new 2.2.1 systems), and have just purchased a locally-made (Australian) 8-port modem card. They claim it is compatible with an "Arnet" 8-port serial card. I've looked at the FAQ and searched the FreeBSD DOCs, it's indicated as being supported, but I don't know how to go about it. Can you please suggest where I can look, which man page(s) are appropriate! It would be wonderful if you could say "add the line xxxx xxx xx xxx xxxx to the config file and re-compile"! I don't know what IO base I should be using, or what interrupt is expected by default. Any assistance you can provide will be appreciated, as I'm not a unix guru (yet, but I keep reading). My problem at this time is that I don't have time to play.... this box is supposed to be in and running at a site I won't have access to again for months, and my time runs out in a couple of days. Many thanks, Ross Wheeler
