FreeBSD seems to see it:
$ dmesg|grep "^sio"
sio0: <16550A-compatible COM port> port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on
acpi0
sio0: type 16550A
(it is /dev/cuaa0 on FreeBSD)
This looks like the standard serial port known as COM1 in windows.
ah... well that could be. I was a bit concerned when I realized that Windows called it COM3
(cuua0 is for outgoing connections -- incoming would normally be on ttyd0)
You probably want cuua2 or ttyd2 and may need to do something with the
device.hints file to get these to appear.
mgetty seems to have editied /etc/ttys like this:
ttyd0 "/usr/local/sbin/mgetty -s 115200" dialup on secure ttyd1 "/usr/local/sbin/mgetty -s 115200" dialup on secure
so based on your comments I added
ttyd2 "/usr/local/sbin/mgetty -s 115200" dialup on secure
and changed the line in /usr/local/etc/mgetty+sendfax/mgetty.config to
port cuaa2
and rebooted, which caused this error:

I'm unfamiliar with "device.hints" (other than having now read its man page), so I'm unsure as to whether this appears to be something that it would be able to fix.
Certainly appears that mgetty is not looking at the modem port but an ordinary
serial port.
That would explain it.
I don't believe you should need mgetty for basic modem login -- getty should work.
Set ttyd2 to "on" in /etc/ttys.
Yeah, it was one of those cases where the page I found when googling suggested mgetty, so I just went with that.
However listen to what others have to say -- I don't claim to be expert in this area
-- especially not with the new features of 5.x
I'll keep that in mind, but so far you're well ahead of me as far as expertise ;-)
