Thanks for the reply Jeremy, Can I ask a few more questions of you? 1. The video card I am considering is described by the vendor I am using as a "STB nVidia Velocity AGP". Do you know if this is or is not compatible with the NVidia Riva 128? If it is not compatible with the NVidia Riva 128, do you suspect it is supported under XFree86? 2. Are the 3Com or Rockwell you pointed out below x2 technology of KFlex56? Are you aware of any US Robotics x2 internals that work well with FreeBSD? Regards, JM > ------------- > Jeffrey M.

WinModems only "work" with Windows. And badly. Get an external V.90 (3Com or Rockwell, you choose. 3Com is better, but go with what your provider uses.) -===================================================================- Jeremy Shaffner JORSM Internet Senior Technical Support Northwest Indiana's Premium jer@jorsm.com <mailto:jer@jorsm.com> Internet Service Provider support@jorsm.com <mailto:support@jorsm.com> <http://www.jorsm.com>; -===================================================================- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
