I switch slots, changed the modem out with and old 28.8, and so forth. Eventually I discovered some really old stuff about sio.c which suggested this: cp4ticks = speed / 10 / hz * 4; be changed to this. cp4ticks = speed / 10 / hz * 40; and everything worked like a charm So I am wondering why this hasn't been changed since it seems to be necessary for proper operation of just about the only non-winmodem available.Probably because sio is about to be dropped and no one has given it much attention of late. It's probably best to convert to use of uart which is the new serial port driver and will be the only one in V8 which is in code freeze and should be out in two or three months. Let the "I coulda had a V8" puns and bad jokes begin!
Any idea where there is info on how to do this? Nothing in man uart is helpful to me, and if it is the handbook, I can't find it. I found a few things about modems and ttys, but I want it for ppp. Since it seems to work now, perhaps I better stop upgrading. After all, umass upgrades may my camera useless (except as a way to panic the system. Some upgrade or another made the scanner and card-reading functions on my printer useless. I can't afford to up to the point that my modem doesn't work. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
