Ryan) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: BUG? FreeBSD 2.0.5 won't see my Zoom 28.8, 2.0 would Date: Tue, 25 Jul 1995 13:24:22 LOCAL Organization: Iowa State University Lines: 22 Message-ID: <marcus.207.013CF909@ccelab.iastate.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: wakko.cce.iastate.edu X-Newsreader: Trumpet for Windows [Version 1.0 Rev B final beta #4] FreeBSD 2.0.5 will not see my Zoom V.FC internal 28.8 modem. It will see it 1 in 3 times on an old Zenith Z-select 100 (486 DX/2 66MHz) with several bad hardware components, but won't see it at all on a 486/66 EISA, or an HP Vectra N1. Period. I can boot with the -c option and make it see the port, but when I do, it simply doesn't do what it's supposed to (it doesn't register a keystroke until the next is hit, like a stack or buffer is having problems). It does this with two identical modems on several machine, so it seems as though it's a design problem in one or the other, or potentially a bug in FreeBSD. I suggest the latter because I remember having the modem work unfailingly under 2.0-Release. Any ideas? I really don't want to have to buy a new modem to use with FreeBSD. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Marcus I. Ryan |*Diplomacy is the art of saying 'Nice Asst.
