There are only 2 cuaa devices in the /dev directory(cuaa1 and cuaa2). Are my ports detected correctly or is it my modem that is not detected?, - Ajesh Check your boot log /var/run/dmesg.boot and if your internal PCI modem is not an winmodem. When the boot probe process finds a PCI modem it automatically moves it to sio4 as the dmesg.boot messages shows below. sio0: Zoom PCI Modem port 0xe400-0xe407,0xe000-0xe0ff, mem 0xe200-0xe2ff irq 3 at device 19.0 on pci0 sio0: moving to sio4 sio4: type 16550A Sio4 is internal device cuaa4. pci0: unknown card (vendor=0x1106, dev=0x3050) at 7.3 You will get this message if your PCI modem card is a Winmodem. Very seldom is the PCI modem card physical labeled or marked as a Winmodem. Read the marketing information on the box your PCI modem came in, or check out the support web site for the PCI modem's manufacture to verify it's a Winmodem. If your PCI modem card is am Winmodem, replace it with a PCI modem card that has onbard DSP and controller chips. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

What makes you think your PC has a com3 and com4 external nipples? You should be cabling you external serial modem to your PCs com1 or com2 external serial nipples. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

it was said: I have got a problem with my HS56 PCTel modem because I can not enable my serial ports. The first two ports are automatically enabled, but the third and the fourth does not get enabled. I read the handbook and tried to do it myself, but without success. I have connected the modem to the COM3 port(sio2). When I take the output of dmesg command I get the following output Hello, Do you actually have four serial ports? Most computers come with two or less. Is the modem internal or external? If it is internal, it is almost certainly a winmodem, meaning it needs to do signal processing through calls to the Windows OS, and most probably won't work under FBSD. If it is external, what happens if you connect to one of the ports that are detected? Regards, Stheg __ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!
