Hi Guys,
D
	I just upgrade from 386bsd 0.1 to FreeBSD, every thing is nice except
with my modem, can anybody tell me what device (com or sio, or cua) should I 
use? and can anybody tell me the step in getting the modem to work under Free-
BSD. When I was using 386BSD, I used com1 (com2 in DOS) and every thing works
well, however, under FreeBSD, when I look at the /etc/remote file, the last 
two lines start with "com00.......; com01........" something like this, I 
change these to sio00, sio01, and use the "cu" command using sio01 (com2 in
DOS) and the connect message appeared. However, when I start typing, "Input/
Output error" appear and then disconnected.

	I know there is some news in this group have already discussed this
aspect, but they are not so detailed, (please forgive my ignorance) can
anybody please kindly tell me the solutions about this? I prefer FreeBSD than
386BSD but I really need to use my modem under it, please help.

	Looking forwards to hearing good news from you and thank you very much
for your kindly attention. Thanks in advance.

Best regards.
Alex Lam (cs089613@comp.hkp.hk)
