How can I force the > detection of the modem during the installation. The modem isn't detected because it doesn't _work_. You can attempt to find out _why_ it doesn't work properly by setting the 'debug' flag using the kernel configuration tool. Boot with the '-c' flag : Boot: -c Then at the config prompt, set the debug flag for the first serial port : config> flags sio0 0x80 config> quit Now when the port is probed, you should see a list of tests that it fails. If the list goes past too fast, wait until the menu is displayed, then hit Scroll Lock, and use Page Up to scroll back and read the messages. > Huy Viet Le / Cisti / huy_le@alcor.concordia.ca / -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 041-122-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] My car has "demand start" -Terry Lambert UNIX: live FreeBSD or die!
