  I'm having a problem getting my Supra288i PNP modem working with my mouse
under FreeBSD 2.1.6.  

  Under DOS/WINDOWS the modem is IRQ3/02f8/COM2, mouse at IRQ4/03f8/COM1

  Under BSD, pnpinfo says the modem uses 03F8.

  If I configure the pnp.c file for 3f8 and IRQ15(?), I lose my mouse and
talking to the modem via ppp gives me back garbage , although the modem
undestands the commands I give it.  ( Needless to say, this is problem
in trying to get a dial-up connection working ).

  If I configure the pnp.c file for 2f8 and force irq3, nothing works.

  I'm about to go out an purchase an external modem and be done with
this PNP crap. If you can believe it, setting up the modem under BSD
was easier than under W95 and DOS! I miss my ZOOM modem with a ton of
jumpers. *sniff*
