I have been attempting to setup mgetty (installed from ports) to allow me to dial IN to my FreeBSD 5.3 machine.
$ mgetty -V mgetty+sendfax by Gert Doering experimental test release 1.1.31-Jul24
log file written to '/var/log/mgetty.<ttyX>' config file read from '/usr/local/etc/mgetty+sendfax/mgetty.config'
(FWIW, the modem works under WinXP for dialing *out*. XP reports it as: "PCI Slot 2 PCI Bus 1, Device 1, function 0" on "COM3")
FreeBSD seems to see it:
$ dmesg|grep "^sio"
sio0: <16550A-compatible COM port> port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on acpi0
sio0: type 16550A
(it is /dev/cuaa0 on FreeBSD)
However, it will not respond to calls. Checking the mgetty log, I see this:

(that repeated periodically)
All of which is trying to be very helpful, except that I have no idea what it is telling me.
The modem is not turned "off" as far as I know (it's an internal PCI card modem) and the only cable is the phone cable, which works fine.
Can someone suggest how I might troubleshoot this? My only thought is to disable mgetty and try to connect directly to the modem, but my sense is that the modem would not respond and I'd still not know what to do.
Thanks in advance for any pointers
