I finally found out why the modem wasn't acknowledged at all. The
cable wasn't connected to the I/O board, inside the chase'! :) Then, after
connecting that, it wasn't too hard to figure out that the jumpers were set to
disable the port, too. *chuckle* Thanks for the help on that.
Unfortunately, now I've got a different problem. When I use the cu or
tip commands now, the computer seems to think that the mouse is the modem. I
checked the kernel's options in the file in /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/conf/, but
there's only one mention of irq 3. The mouse doesn't seem to even have an irq
assigned to it. (5 is given to mms, but I'm using /dev/tty00 in my
/etc/XF86Config.) Even stranger, when X isn't running, it still does this. So
I'm fairly certain that its not an error in /etc/XF86Config.
Does anyone have some ideas about this? All help, as always, is
appreciated. Thanks.
