Hi, people. My modem (internal) in FreeBSD 2.1.5 is on COM3/cuaa2/sio2. [This is a home, stand-alone box for personal use.] I have gone into my config file in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf and changed the irq for sio2 from the default, 5, to 4, which it is in Linux (where I am now, so if you receive this it works set that way), commented out sio3 since I haven't anything there anyway, and recompiled. I still get the message with dmesg sio2 not found at 0x3e8 and ppp, dial provider as per the ppp HOWTO gets me a message that the modem cannot be reached. I have cuaa0 through cuaa2 in /dev, but no sio devices at all. But the mouse, which is on COM2/sio1/cuaa1 is found. I've got nothing on COM1/sio0/cuaa0. If not in /dev, where do sio devices dwell? I get the impression that cuaa is used for dial-out, sio for dial-in communications--if so, do I need sio2 for dialing out via ppp anyway? Ultimately I would like to have everything working, but for now, as I am trying to learn UNIX/FreeBSD at this box, dialing out will be enough for email, internet surfing, etc., downloading software, and generally tooling around in UNIX/FreeBSD. I don't quite see what I should try next, or where the apprapos information may be found. Some guidance would be welcome. Should I comment out sio1 in the /usr/src/sys/i386/conf kernel file? I have nothing there, but it is sharing irq 4 now. BTW, in Linux I get this with " setserial -g -abv /dev/cua* " /dev/cua0 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A /dev/cua1 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A /dev/cua2 at 0x03e8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A where mouse is on cua1 and modem is on cua2 and nothing is on cua0. The modem, a Newcom, doesn't tout itself as a pnp modem. TIA! Chris -- ________________________________ Chris Booth cbooth@onyx.interactive.net
