Well, I suppose you could re-read the URL I sent you. But
specifically:
1. Send your message to FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.org, not me.
2. Describe your hardware and the version of FreeBSD you're running.
3. Describe what you're trying to do. Do you want to use the mouse
with X, with moused, or what?
4. Describe what happens. What goes wrong?
5. In this specific case: you're also having problems with PPP. What
kind of motherboard do you have. Run dmesg and tell me^H^Hus if
you see something like:
sio0 at 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 on isa
sio0: type 16550A
sio1 at 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on isa
sio1: type 16550A
If you get 'not found' messages, you may be suffering from a known
bug which hits certain motherboards. In this case, let me know
more about your hardware, in particular the motherboard or the
machine manufacturer.
