Hmm, I've heard reports of this with the version of sio that was shipped in 1.0.2 (it has has lots of changes since that time). Try this. 1) Cold-reboot (power cycle) 2) Boot into DOS 3) Use the modem 4) Warm-boot into FreeBSD See what happens there. >The funny thing is that a friend of mine does have 4 serial ports and 1 of >them with fifo and he has exactly the same problem. 9 out of 10 times his >fifo port is not found by the sio driver but it works fine under his old >386BSD 0.1 installation ... >(no problem with non-fifo ports as well ...) This is either a misconfigured serial board or buggy sio which is probably fixed in the next release of FreeBSD due out RSN.
