Apologies if this topic has been beaten to death here.
I've recently begun attempting to download FreeBSD via my ISP and a ppp
connection. I've a Complete PC 14.4 TurboModem mounted internally on COM2 -
it obviously works under DOS/Windows or I wouldn't be posting here. Problem
is that no matter what I attempt in the installation term window I'm unable to
either talk to the modem or to convince dial to do anything more than die.
When I do a "show modem" the outq value shows "ioctl probe failed" on
/dev/cuaa1, which leads me to think that the modem isn't being detected during
kernel configuration.
Given the above, does anybody have any words of wisdom (apart from 'Get a
life!') they might care to share with me?
adv{THANKS}ance.
