I was in the same situation at one time. As I understand it, your pc really only has two com ports, 3 & 4 under dos are not real. FreeBSD only recognizes sio0 & sio1 (com 1 & 2). You'll have to move your modem to sio1 (com2), and most likely disable com2 on your controller card, as well as setting any modem jumpers/switches that apply to com ports. Provided your setup is not any complicated, getting FreeBSD to recognize your modem is a simple process. Barry Masterson jbarrm@panix.com -- >--->--->--->--->---> FreeBSD 2.1.0-R <---<---<---<---<---<
