The bios seems to recognize them all perfectly, and the printer port is working under FreeBSD. The problem is, that FreeBSD isn't recognizing either of the two com ports. As it is, I have one modem and one mous (com1 and com2) running from another port, and really need to get at least one more com port running so that I can dial out while someone is using my bbs. Any help with this would be GREATLY appreciated! Thank you, Christine
