Are you using an internal modem or a serial card and external modem? If the latter, be advised some serial cards don't have complete ports in hardware; they use specialize drivers to make up the difference. This upsets FreeBSD, which demands that the port be 'real.' If that's not the problem, make sure this card is really addressed at port 3E8. If it's at 2E8 for some reason (and some of them are), DOS will still read it as COM3, but FreeBSD will have to be told explicitly. I hope this is at least a little bit helpful! -- Ken Are you interested in | byte-sized education | http://www.play-hookey.com over the Internet? |
