Message-ID: <BRIAN.93Oct24225502@sun1.claremont.com> Sender: news@nntpxfer.psi.com Nntp-Posting-Host: sun1.claremont.com Organization: Claremont Systems Inc. Date: Mon, 25 Oct 1993 02:55:02 GMT Lines: 25 I just upgraged from 386bsd to FreeBSD-1.0 EPISILON. Everything works great, except the SIO driver. I couldn't get SIO to work under the 0.2.4 PK, so I figured maybe it would be easier under FreeBSD, but obviously it was not. I created the necessary entries in /dev for SIO. When I boot, it looks like the probe works because it recognizes my 2 serial ports. When I try to 'tip' to my modem, however, it hangs for about 2 min and then I get a 'link down' error message. This is how they are configured: device sio0 at isa? port "IO_COM1" tty irq 4 vector siointr device sio1 at isa? port "IO_COM2" tty irq 3 vector siointr I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
