 	OK,it seems I have solved it after all!I set my modem into different PCI port 
 ,where it was assigned interrupt 10;it prevented the installation "device 
 probing" message from dead hanging!One part of it was thus solved , but for 
 the modem : the KPPP utility still couldn't make it work . Then I recompiled 
 the kernel with some additional options :
 
 device      pcm             #For some reason it comes without any sound driver 
 compiled into kernel!
 
 device      puc             #A driver for various PCI cards , for my 3Com 
 hardware modem is a PCI card , not ISA.And it seemes that you cannot do too 
 much with the sio driver itself -- it just does what it does and if it would 
 .
 
 As I did all this and built a new kernel, everything went just fine!First of 
 all,the resulting sound driver coped rather easily with my onboard integrated 
 audiocodec CMI9738 AC'97 and the next KDE welcomed me with s o u n d rather 
 than saying "/dev/dsp is not found!".
 
 And the puc-driver was able to tell more about the modem than sio had told 
 formrerly.It seems that sio-driver could then use the results of the 
 puc-driver's work. And the KPPP didn't hang the whole system when doing 
 "query modem"
 ,but was able then to query it,though the device itself always makes its 
 serial port on COM5,or /dev/ttyS4 in Linux,so it was now at cuaa4.This 
 message I'm sending from my well-functioning FreeBSD 5.1 system and thank 
 everybody who put forth effort to create it.
 
 
 Now to summarize:
 
 My systim includes motherboard L4IBMG3,i845G chipset,onboard video(device agp 
 delt with that),audio -- device pcm handled this,2 PCI slots,several 
 USB-ports I haven't dealt with, yet.And USRobotics 3Com 3CP5609 PCI 56K 
 hardware modem making port COM5 -- all this stuff is rather recently 
 produced,I purchased it last year.
 additional kernel options:
 
 device   pcm
 device   puc
 device   apicam   #to enable CD-writer through SCSI emulation interface
 
 And during all this turmoil I got pretty well acquainted with FreeBSD system 
 as compared with Linux.And I like it much better!It loads internet site 
 quicker than ASPLinux does.The kernel is even larger,but the systim runs 
 quicker.
  
 I'm sending the dmesg output to finish with all this.Hopefully, it will be 
 useful.Thanks so much.
 
 Kostya.
