I need some assistance,
I have recompiled my FreeBSD kernel and everything is fine
except my modem is not available to me. I have a Meastro internal
FAX/MODEM set up to use com1 irq4 (address 0x3f8). My mouse is on
com2 irq3 and it works fine. I have run dmesg and seen that sio0
has not been found. I do have a line for it in my kernel config
file ( MYKERNEL):-
device sio0 at isa? port "IO_COM1" tty irq4 vector siointr
I have a similar line for sio1 putting it on "IO_COM2", irq3.
At first I thought "OH it's just because com1 has the modem on it", but
I looked at the handbook file and it said that internal modems are
just set up like com ports but with the modem permanently attached.
I could find no examples of how to configure an internal modem in
the handbook or the freebsd faq. I have also tried sh MAKEDEV tty0,
sh MAKEDEV cuaa0, sh MAKEDEV sio0 but all to no avail. It just ain't
being found by the kernel.
Please help me :)
Jeff.
