When I start DSL it locates my Lucent modem durring the hardware setup, how to I get other Linux type os to do the same? i.e. FreeBsd

You should go ask them - besides FreeBSD is not Linux based.

DSL has some kind of autoconfig thingy that regonizes your modem. I belive it's from Knoppix linux originally.
Anyway. It won't work on BSDs. Afaik, BSD uses different drivers because its kernel is different. Even if this autoconfig could regonize your modem it most propably wouldn't be able to load required drivers for modem to work on BSD.

I belive there's similiar autoconfig for BSDs, because there's also BSD LiveCD distributions available.

I'd configure my modem by myself. Then I'd learn more.

I only used BSD as an example, but thanks for the info. I have tried to compile my drivers using the ltmodem website but I am having a few difficulties with corectly defining what I need. If I have the irq# and the memory range can I use that to compile a generic driver? Where are all the files in DSL located that have to do with PCI port scaning?
-Again thanks for yalls help-

Check the boot files in /etc/init.d, especially knoppix-autoconfig and dsl-config

The ltmodem support in DSL is not from Knoppix, but something I added to support my tp240 thinkpad. I just compiled the two modules and then check the pci codes.

Code Sample

if lspci -vn | grep " 11c1:04" > /dev/null; then        echo "${GREEN}Found a Lucent Technologies Winmodem.${NORMAL}"        insmod -f ltmodem > /dev/null        insmod -f ltserial > /dev/null        ln -sf /dev/ttyS14 /dev/modem     fi
