This is a mess. I don't know exactly how I got it to work. I don't think that the PnP OS has something to do with BSd problems but then again.. I have to run some test before commiting myself. However, I am now sure that it was not a kernel problem. (well, I did have to add the modem's PnP ID to /sys/isa/sio.c and recompile the kernel). If I setup my com2 (sio1) in the BIOS correctly, (IRQ3, 2f8), the modem is not recognized correctly. This is probably the main problem, but again, I have to test all this stuff. Thanks again for you help and support A.
