From: asami@cs.berkeley.edu (Satoshi Asami) Sender: owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk * I'm happily running FreeBSD on a TP560. Now I'm looking for some * PCMCIA modem card. Yes, I had a look at the hardware compatibility * list, but I wonder if there is some modem card which people could * recommend. A low price isn't my first priority. I need 33.6 bps, * and I expect painless operation. I thought a US Robotics Sporster * or Courier would make a good choice but I saw some warning that * troubles had been reported. So, is there any PCMCIA modem card * *you* could recommend to me? I appreciate any hint. I haven't used the modem much yet (haven't gone on a trip since I bought the laptop :) but my USR Megahertz 56k (XJ1560) appears to work fine in both Lose95 and FreeBSD. (Yes it works in Lose95...a miracle.) However, this one has the "X-jack", which is not a very good idea. Get one without an X-jack if you can, or you can (usually) only use one PC-card at a time.
