ISA Modem on FreeBSD 6.2

I'm trying to set up HylaFax on FreeBSD, but I'm having problems with  
the modem setup.

I tossed in an ISA modem that was laying around (not sure of the  
brand) and I can't figure out if it's being recognized or not. I set  
it to IRQ 2 and COM1. Should it be picked up by 'sio'?  I disabled  
the onboard serial ports  in the bios and commented out the 'sio'  
lines in the device.hints file.  I'm  getting some odd messages on  
the sio driver probe and it doesn't look like the modem is being  
picked up.

With the current setup, i end up with /dev/ttyd0 and /dev/cuad0, but  
hylaFax says they're not terminal devices.  I'm obviously missing  
something.

Any help?

Here's my current dmesg output.
