Hello. I have problems trying to get my multifunction 3Com Megahertz=20
3CXEM556 B Ethernet/56K Modem PCMCIA card working on FreeBSD 5.1 on=20
my Compaq Armada 7400. The card works perfectly (as far as the modem=20
part, can't test the ethernet portion) on Windows 98 SE. Whenever I=20
try to configure PPP for my card on FreeBSD, when I type the dialing=20
commands (such as at, atdt, etc.), the output on the screen would=20
either be jarbled or won't appear at all.
Here is my dmesg output:

I did read the ep man page; it did say that my card was "wedged"=20
(which, according to the Jargon File, means that the card doesn't=20
really work). I also used Google to see if other people had problems=20
with the same card, but I didn't find any solutions at all. What do=20
I need to do in order to get my PCMCIA card working properly? I am=20
relatively new to FreeBSD, so I don't really know where to go from=20
here. Thanks in advance.
