For what it's worth, I answered my own question by finding version 1.17.2.1 of exca.c up on the cvs tree and replaced /usr/src/sys/dev/exca/exca.c in my 5.3 src tree. Rebuilt kernel, and voila! I can use my modem on 5.3-release! Maybe not the most graceful way of going about it (and i'll have to remember to watch this when I cvsup and get a patch for /usr/src, right?), but it works for me and is close for folk music. I'm assuming this will make it into 5.4? Thanks again, Duane > >
