Dear Sir,

	I have susessfully installed FreeBSD 2.1 on my pc. I'm having 
some difficulties in getting my modem to work. The com port that I was 
using under dos was com2, so I assumed I would need to use /dev/cuaa1 as 
my port; however, it doesn't seems to work. I have tried to use ppp, 
dip, tip, cu... and none of these programs would let me dial out. 
for example: I use dip -tv  and set the port to /dev/cuaa1 after that it 
shows some configs on that port. As soon as I type in term, the machine 
could not talk to the modem. (I've check the modem, it was on com 2 and 
irq 3 and it is working under dos)  am I doing something wrong?? do I 
need to config the modem first?? I have use demesg | grep sio to check 
the setting on my serial ports, it seems working ok... 
	I would appreaciate if you can give me any insight in sloving 
this problem. Thank you very much.
