Run the dmesg program and look for lines mentioning sio0, sio1, etc. Send them in reply to this list and we'll see what's going on. > Next, if I can figure out how to tell BSD 3.2 to find my US Robotics > 56k modem.

The easiest way to install it is to get the CD, or if that's too much money, download the ISO. There are other ways, but they're more complicated. > I am at wits end, if someone could recommend an IRC server and > channel for help with FreeBSD, I would appriciate that as well.
