FreeBSD V5.0 and USB to Serial

[Richard Kaestner]

My Notebook (Toshiba Satellite) does not have serial 
ports,
so I wanted to connect a serial adapter.

The adapter is recognized (see below), but I can't access 
any of the serial ports:

root at sat# minicom
minicom: cannot open /dev/ucom0: Device not configured
root at sat#


root at sat# cu -l ucom0
/dev/ucom0: Device not configured
link down
root at sat# cu -l ucom1
/dev/ucom1: Device not configured
link down
root at sat#

I will be happy about any hint!

PS.: hope, this is the right list to ask these questions. 
If not, sorry ! (but maybe, you can point me to the right 
list)
