System: FreeBSD 82-168-75-155-bbxl.xdsl.tiscali.nl 6.0-BETA2 FreeBSD 6.0-BETA2 #7: Thu Aug 18 02:23:02 CEST 2005 root at 82-168-75-155-bbxl.xdsl.tiscali.nl:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/RENE i386
>Description:
The system supports the ELSA MicroLink modem, but the manual page does
not list it as a supported device.

dmesg snippet when plugging in modem:

ucom0: Lucent Technologies, Inc. ELSA Modem Board, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 2, iclass 2/2
ucom0: data interface 1, has CM over data, has break
ucom0: status change notification available
ucom0: at uhub0 port 1 (addr 2) disconnected

I have succesfully used it on FreeBSD 4.6, 5.0, 5.1 and 5.2.1

The name in the synopsis line corresponds to the one shown on the device.
>How-To-Repeat:
apply patch.  The added line is actually a bit (too) verbose.
