Lucent(Agere) Mars chipset can be worked with ports/comms/ltmdm.
It's a controller-less modem.

I had used a PCI modem that uses the chipset(1646T00) on FreeBSD 5.x
for several years.  There was no problem for dialup use.


PCTel PCT789T chipset can be worked too with the "ptmdm" driver.
It's a software modem:

This driver isn't tested well.  There are only two persons who has
tested the driver with the chipset (one is me... thanks to Markus!).

So if you can, it's better for you to select Lucent Mars.
