My thinking of logical steps to do in 3.4-RELEASE is this: 1) Install ISA PnP modem 2) Boot machine. Run "pnpinfo | more" as root. 3) Check if the IRQ/DRQ/PORT gets assigned (near the bottom of the output of pnpinfo for that device). 4) If it doesn't get assigned, note the CSN and LDN for the modem. 5) Add a line like this to /boot/kernel.conf to get the kernel to enable the modem pnp 1 0 os enable irq0 4 port0 0x2f8 6) shutdown -r to reboot 7) "dmesg | more" to check if the modem is assigned as sio0 or sio1 Thanks for a great OS. _______________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
