yes i read the manual :P

I have been reading about ppp and about sio and scrolled trough the big man efax

The good news is 

TB-14R dmesg | grep sio
usb0: USB revision 1.0
usb1: USB revision 1.0
sio0: <16550A-compatible COM port> port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on acpi0
sio0: type 16550A
sio1: <16550A-compatible COM port> port 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on acpi0
sio1: type 16550A
TB-14R

The bad news is that there is no fax tutorial for freebsd dummies :)
And i dont know wich serial port is sio0 or sio1 I connected the fax
to god knows wich sio and said "ok modem start faxing" hoping for a
mirical the sio was plug and play detected the fax and conected it
with my email client so i could sent and receive faxes.

Ps can you setup tty terminal trough usb ? It would be cool if i could
replace my vidiocart with a usb cable :)
