Some things I'd try first though is make sure Com1 isn't being used by anything else, unlikely since you've probally got a Packard Bell system, but it needs to be checked anyways. Second thing, if by some miracle you have jumpers on the card, change the Com Port to 2 or 3. Other then that, go get a new modem and a cheap $20 sound card, you'll be 1000 times better off (and will get better sound to boot! :) Rick To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
