Thanks so much for the help in getting my V.Everything Internal
Modem working!
I wanted to document the steps that I took so that in the future if
Anyone else has this problem, hopefully this can point them in the
right
direction.

To start with, I used the 'pnpinfo' command, and
this got my hopes up that it was possible to get this modem working
eventually.  The output of pnpinfo was as follows:


Checking for Plug-n-Play devices...

Card assigned CSN #1

The part that is interesting to us is this:

Card assigned CSN #1
Vendor ID USR0101 (0x01017256), Serial Number 0xacb0bb15
PnP Version 1.0, Vendor Version 0
Device Description: USRobotics Courier V.Everything

Logical Device ID: USR0009 0x09007256 #0


According to the documentation in the file:
/usr/share/doc/en/books/faq/book.txt

we need to add the part after the USR0101, (which is 0x01017256), to
the
file /usr/src/sys/isa/sio.c, recompile our kernel, and voila, it
should be
found.

However, this didn't work for me right away.  I played around with
it, and
found that it was the number on the line labeled 'Logical Device ID'
that I
needed to add to the sio.c file.

After trying that, I recompiled the kernel and it worked like a
charm.

Subject: Can't make the system see my modem! Please help!!!


I have ELINE 576-PS (PCTel PCT789T-A Chipset) internal modem device
and need to
set it up under FreeBSD 4.7 box. GENERIC kernel says when booting:

pci0: <unknown card> (vendor=0x134d, dev=0x7897) at 11.0 irq 9

As you see my modem is unknown for GENERIC kernel. I saw
/boot/defaults/loader.conf and found no line corresponding to that
particular modem at all. What should I do to make the system see the
device and interact with one.

Any help would be apreciated.
