I believe your xfax modem is what is called a winmodem. These type of cheap modems are built just for the ms/windows market and do not work on FreeBSD. They are missing the onboard hardware controller which is why you have to install the win driver that comes with it. http://www.unixguide.net/freebsd/fbsd_installguide/index.php The above URL has very good step by step instructions on configurating ppp for external modem with info on how to verify if your modem is a winmodem. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Gert Cuykens Sent: Tuesday, April 05, 2005 12:14 AM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: efax with a serial 3com us robotics 56k modem yes i read the manual :P I have been reading about ppp and about sio and scrolled trough the big man efax The good news is TB-14R dmesg | grep sio usb0: USB revision 1.0 usb1: USB revision 1.0 sio0: <16550A-compatible COM port> port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on acpi0 sio0: type 16550A sio1: <16550A-compatible COM port> port 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on acpi0 sio1: type 16550A TB-14R The bad news is that there is no fax tutorial for freebsd dummies :) And i dont know wich serial port is sio0 or sio1 I connected the fax to god knows wich sio and said "ok modem start faxing" hoping for a mirical the sio was plug and play detected the fax and conected it with my email client so i could sent and receive faxes. Ps can you setup tty terminal trough usb ? It would be cool if i could replace my vidiocart with a usb cable :) _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
