Hi,
I just made the mistake of purchasing a PNP modem (Diamond
SupraExpress 336i SP) and now of course I can't get it working under
FreeBSD. It doesn't have jumpers to configure the COM ports or IRQs on
it. I don't want to have my old and new modem around (the old one
works fine since it isn't PNP) and was wondering if there are PNP
extensions available for FreeBSD (I have 2.1.6) or if anyone has
gotten a PNP modem working and could let me know how.

Please post your answer to the newsgroup and also send reply to my
email address: groener@vt.edu

Thanks,

Markus
