i'm just going to put this in the drop box ... no replies necessary. something is really screwy here. i can't wait for a new slick sio driver! i had a 14.4 ISA Hayes modem. after coming to the conclusion that you cannot configure an internal modem & com port on the same port & irq, i still had problems. i moved the modem to sio3/irq5 (disabled ed0 temporarily) and enabled sio2, even though it is completely unused. the kernel reported sio 2&3 not found. after thorough testing, i found that whenever the kernel reported this, all i had to do was boot DOS, run COMITs modem diagnostics, then reboot to BSD. the kernel would then find sio3 without fail. but if a crashed iijppp, and had to reboot, sio3 would be lost again, and i'd have to do the COMIT thing again. with a working stable setup - as above - i then disable sio2. sio3 (modem) is now permenantly lost. no tricks find it this time. so i re-enable sio2. sio3 found immediately. i'm an embedded hacker scaling the walls of unix, and ain't too smart, but this definitly seems like buggy behavior.home | help
