Thanks to all who responded. I think I've narrowed this down to a problem recognizing the port (rather than a hardware problem), but this still doesn't have me much closer to success. The actual modem is a US Robotics Performance Pro (not a Winmodem), so I doubt that's the source of my troubles.
I did run sh MAKEDEV to make sure that all the devices existed. Then I used Kermit to try to contact the modem and I got a message that read: connection to /dev/cuaa2 failed: Device not configured Also, on startup, I'm still getting this error message that reads: sio2: configured irq 5 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0 Can anyone see what I might be missing here? Thanks a lot, Alex PS- Here, once again, are the lines from my kernel config file: # Serial (COM) ports device sio0 at isa? port IO_COM1 flags 0x10 irq 4 device sio1 at isa? port IO_COM2 irq 3 device sio2 at isa? port IO_COM3 irq 5 device sio3 at isa? disable port IO_COM4 irq _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
