Just for grins, try this: Boot the boot floppy and go into the kernel configuration editor at the first menu. Change the entry for sio0 to contain the same port/IRQ values of sio1 (in fact, you can swap them if you like). Now try using your modem as /dev/cuaa0 (e.g. COM1) since you've remapped FreeBSD's view of the two serial ports. Just testing a hunch here. Also, you should always specify which release of FreeBSD you're talking about - I'm assuming 2.2.2 here. -- - Jordan Hubbard FreeBSD core team / Walnut Creek CDROM.
