Hi, I've ended up with a SmartLink PCI softmodem (SmartPCI561). SmartLink provide some drivers for Linux which apparently are quite good at ftp://ftp.smlink.com/linux/unsupported/ This comes as some source code and some object files with needs to compiled against a kernel source tree - which looks simple enough on Linux. I have the linux_base port installed on FreeBSD 4.9. I don't have a Linux kernel source tree, but is it just a matter of compiling against the Linux kernel source and linking the Linux libraries? Even assuming it does compile, what are the chances of it actually working? And yes, I know its quicker and easier to buy something else, and lots of people don't like softmodems etc etc. That's not the point :-) Can it work?? thanks aydun
