I don't know what 4.7-RELEASE contains as I'm not a 4.7-RELEASE engineer, and if I was I don't think I'd be telling you. ;-) Listen, if worst comes to worst and there somehow isn't a 4.7 mini-iso, you could CVSup your existing system to the 4.7 release or -STABLE without using much bandwidth.

It's a bugfix release that requires 4.6 installed, even the regular isos on the ftp server need 4.6 to work. (I think Daemon News offers a specially built complete 4.6.2 set however.) Will there be one for 4.7? (I really hope so). 4.7-RC (4.7 release candidate 1) already has a mini-iso, in fact it doesn't offer any other kind of iso yet, though I suspect the release itself will offer all kinds of isos.

If you make yourself a custom kernel config where you comment out the sio2 and sio3 device lines (which are disabled by default), then your internal modem will be assigned to sio2 (/dev/cuaa2) on the IO_COM3 port and irq 5. Thanks. Someone else wrote me with a solution for the root cause of it though; apparantly the kernel assumes that a serial port (or serial-port emulating device like a PCI modem) cannot share IRQs. A one-line modification of the source fixes this, and now my USB bus and the device on it is detected according to the boot messages. I'm still having problems getting my printer to work though; instead of saying that the device doesn't exist it says /dev/ulpt0 and /dev/unlpt0 are busy in aspfilter's setup and also if I redirect text directly to the device on the command line.

Was woundering if anyone could recommend known working internal (56k) modems that you like? I use a USR Robotics Performance Pro modem. I'm satisfied with it, but it's port assignment (the equivalent of COM5; /dev/cuaa4) is kind of odd, though BSD detects it during setup and uses PPP with it with no fuss. It also lives on IRQ 9 here; that can cause conflicts, at least here where I'm trying to resolve a conflict between it and the second built-in USB hub on my computer. Other than that it's a great modem. If you have the deskspace and a little extra cash I'd reccomend an external modem - they are much less likely to cause a motherboard to fry in the event of a power surge and can be used on many architectures as well as being handier to provide instant dial-up internet connectivity on another computer when needed.
