I'm having some problems with a no-name internal modem that are baffling me, and I'm hoping to find some help. I recently started to need two serial ports in addition to my modem, so I moved it to sio3 and irq 2/9, whereas it used to be setup as sio1 irq 3. Once I changed the modem over, FreeBSD would no longer get decent transfer rates. Pinging the remote slip server would yield 300ms RTT's whereas I used to get 150ms RTT's. Ftp transfers dropped from around 2.3K/s to 800bps. My suspicion is that this is some sort of driver problem. Now, as some further datapoints - when I use win95, winNT 4.0, or (cringe) Linux, I get the expect transfer rates and RTT's - this is what leads me to believe the problem is in the serial driver. I hope I'm not coming off as touting Linux or threatening to switch - I'm very satisfied with FreeBSD and would prefer to continue using it, but I need to figure out how to get the modem working correctly again. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance! -matt -- Matthew C. Mead mmead@goof.com http://www.goof.com/~mmead/
