Ignore what Winblows says. It changes things to suit itself. I've
seen my (internal) modem show up as COM5 (!) in W95. Check what
FreeBSD finds it as during boot (use ``dmesg''), e.g here's mine:
marder-1:/etc{58}% dmesg

sio2 is my modem and therefore is /dev/cuaa2 (or which ever device
it turns out to be) Also check that /dev/cuaa2 exists. If not then
as root:
# cd /dev
# ./MAKEDEV cuaa2
