Hmmmm...
I dont seem to have a file named isapnpdevs at /usr/src/sys/dev/isapnp
I am using the 1.3.2 CDROM's as my source for this installation.
( The idea was to get this lit, make sure everything works and then go to 1.4x :)

From you note it seems that such an entry will tell make to build 
a "driver" for this modem type ? Then rebuilding the kernel will add this
"driver" to the kernel ?


Thanks again for the assistance
