I know about the Supras; they have jumpers. Use the jumpers to set the modem to whatever COM port you like, then feed those settings to FreeBSD. Optionally: 1. Set `Plug & Play OS' in your system BIOS to `None' or `No'; this forces the BIOS to configure the PnP devices itself. 2. Install Sujal's PnP patches to add PnP support to the system.
