After Kernal configuration it shows sio1 as not being detected at 0x2f8 although that is where the modem should be. I tried 2.1.6-RELEASE, 2.2-BETA, and 3.0-970124-SNAP but got the same result. 2.2-960501 snapshot is said to support PCMCIA modems, should the later releases also support this. Has anyone gotten any PCMCIA modem to work with any release of FreeBSD? If so, did you have to do anything to get it to work? BTW my PCMCIA Ethernet card was found by FreeBSD, but I cannot use it -no network yet. Thanks, Matthew Haught haught_dm@academ.wvwc.edu
