Stepped on all the usual 'oh, don't you know' landmines but got FreeBSD 2.1 up fairly easily. One problem remain... The modem on COM1 is not recognized by FreeBSD. It works great under Linux and under Windows, and is recognized by the BIOS at power-up. Any ideas on how to get it to work. The modem is my link to the Internet and is something of a must. (Yes, I reloaded Linux in order to post this.) Thanks in advance -- Bob Smith Wireless Connect, Inc 2177 Augusta Place, Santa Clara, CA 95051-1714 Voice: (408) 296-1550 FAX: (408) 296-1547
