I am a Linux user for a few yrs now. I have a few concerns, I hope you can answer me, I don't belong to any mailing lists. I don't think there are any user groups down here in Puerto Rico. 1- Can you tell me if it has trouble detecting built-in modems? I have a notebook, an HP nx9020 and it's built-in modem uses the conexant chipset, My SuSE 9.3 had trouble with that until I got a 3rd party driver from www.linuxant.com. So, will run into the same thing with freebsd? 2- I have a HP scanjet 4600 scanner (usb) that doesn't have a linux driver... either from HP themselves or from the linux community. I can use it with my old windows desktop , but not with linux. Can you suggest any possible FreeBSD solution? 3- Will FreeBSD detect my Palm cradle (usb)? I use my PDA alot. I really like Jpilot as my pda gui app. Do you know of other Jpilot users that use FreeBSD ? I think I'm gonna stick with freebsd, so I will appreciate your answers, or suggestions. -- Eddie Colon Bayamon, PR 00959 "The best things in life are not things" ____________________________________________________ Yahoo!
