Bagwell) writes: I just got FreeBSD installed and it appears to be working. Now I need some help. I want to install a modem on the (dos) com1 port, but I am unsure how to procced. Could someone lend a hand? By the way, the system does recognize the com port on boot as sio0. However I can not find the /dev file for sio0. Also what file will need to be changed in order for this connection to work. This will be seen as /dev/tty00. You can get the kermit package from freebsd.cdrom.com:~ftp/pub/FreeBSD/packages/kermit_bin.tgz (please read the README file in that directory for information on installing packages!) and then simply do: stty -f /dev/tty00 clocal kermit -l /dev/tty00 -b <some baud rate> kermit> c You're connected! If you feel like reading the man page for `tip', you can also connect without having to fetch kermit first, but as I never use tip (being a die-hard kermit user) I couldn't really tell you how to set that up!
