Hi!
I've decided to change from Linux to FreeBSD 2.0.5. Although I've
recompiled Linux hundreds of times, its the first time I've compiled
FreeBSD kernel. I've a problem: I can't get the kernel to recognise my
modem on com3 - /dev/cua2 on Linux - /dev/cuaa3 on FreeBSD (I think),
I've put a line on the config file with sio2...irq 4..., but it still
doen't recognise the third serial port (It explictly say it cant find
on the log file), What have I done wrong?? Please help, right now I
have to use MS-DOG/Windoze to have ppp access because I cant use my
modem with FreeBSD :-(
Meanwhile, is there any difference (in practical terms) beetwen PPP
on kernel and tunneling(tun)? What's the difference beetwen pppd and
ppp?
