    Hello. I have problems trying to get my multifunction 3Com Megahertz
    3CXEM556 B Ethernet/56K Modem PCMCIA card working on FreeBSD 5.1 on
    my Compaq Armada 7400. The card works perfectly (as far as the modem
    part, can't test the ethernet portion) on Windows 98 SE. Whenever I
    try to configure PPP for my card on FreeBSD, when I type the dialing
    commands (such as at, atdt, etc.), the output on the screen would
    either be jarbled or won't appear at all.

    Here is my dmesg output:

    I did read the ep man page; it did say that my card was "wedged"
    (which, according to the Jargon File, means that the card doesn't
    really work). I also used Google to see if other people had problems
    with the same card, but I didn't find any solutions at all. What do
    I need to do in order to get my PCMCIA card working properly? I am
    relatively new to FreeBSD, so I don't really know where to go from
    here. Thanks in advance.
