I guess what I'm asking is, supposing I get a (16-bit, say) modem which is not a winmodem but is not listed in pccard.conf, is it likely that I can get it to work? Or, suppose it works under linux, is it likely to work under FreeBSD? Eg, some Elsa Microlink cards, listed on http://mobilix.org/pcmcia_linux_status.html Thanks - Rahul To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
