I have problems trying to get my multifunction 3Com Megahertz 3CXEM5= 56 B Ethernet/56K Modem PCMCIA card working on FreeBSD 5.1 on my Compaq Arm= ada 7400. The card works perfectly (as far as the modem part, can't test t= he ethernet portion) on Windows 98 SE. Whenever I try to configure PPP for = my card on FreeBSD, when I type the dialing commands (such as at, atdt, etc= .), the output on the screen would either be jarbled or won't appear at all.

I als= o used Google to see if other people had problems with the same card, but I= didn't find any solutions at all. What do I need to do in order to get my= PCMCIA card working properly? I am relatively new to FreeBSD, so I don't = really know where to go from here. Thanks in advance. -linguae ---------------------------------------------- An Apple a day keeps the doctor away.
