If there's a FAQ maintainer for this, the faq entry should look like USR/3COM: The Courier line of modems was their flagship, and they never made a Courier winmodem, so all Couriers are fully compatible with FreeBSD. The sportster line had a couple of winmodem models, so caution is advised. The quickest way to tell if a sportster is compatible (the only non-compatible sportsters are the winmodems) are the two generalized winmodem winnowing rules: external modems are never winmodems, and modems that have jumpers for determining the ttyS (COM) port, IRQ, and I/O port can not be winmodems.
