Can someone tell me how to configure my modem on my freebsd machine??

1)I have the following line in my list of my system devices:
unknown0:<cardinal MVP288I2> at port 0x3e8-0x3ef irq 5 on isa0

2)When I type dmesg|grep sio I get the following

sio0 at port 0x3f8-0x3ff  irq 4 flags 0x10 on isa0
sio0 type 16550
sio1 at port 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on iso0
sio1 type 17550

thanks

        It depends.  Configure it to do what, exactly?

: 1)I have the following line in my list of my system devices:
: unknown0:<cardinal MVP288I2> at port 0x3e8-0x3ef irq 5 on isa0

        What is this?  What list of system devices are you speaking of?
        Is this from dmesg?

: 2)When I type dmesg|grep sio I get the following
: sio0 at port 0x3f8-0x3ff  irq 4 flags 0x10 on isa0
: sio0 type 16550
: sio1 at port 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on iso0
: sio1 type 17550

        One or both of these are probably modem(s), "COM 1" and/or "COM 2"
        respectively.  So they are configured so far as the kernel cares.

        The next job involves knowing what you want to do with your modem,
        but I might suggest you'll probably want to run "man 8 ppp".

medication called "System V", but infinitely more useful. (Or, at least,
more fun.)  The full chemical name is "Berkeley Standard Distribution".
