Well I tried to buy an internal modem the other day but couldn't get a non winmodem (mind you it may be better in your area). There are 2 types of win modems so I beleive...soft modems where pretty much everything is done in software and "others" that actually have a DSP but things like parsing the AT coimmands etc is done in software (I could be a bit off here). On my purchasing expedition I was offered the later type when I said I didn't want a win modem..... I think there is a web page somewhere with list of non win modem internals...cant remember the URL but do a search. > The external modems are quite expensive. but then they have all the required hardware bits :-) They also have little lights on the front to help you diagnose problems and give you a little barrier between your computer and lightening strikes...having said that I was going to buy an internal. > --Is there a way to tell by the way fbsd probes the devices?-- No idea sorry...never seen a winmodem in a freebsd box. > sio2: configured irq 5 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0 > sio2 not found at 0x3e8 > sio3: configured irq 9 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0 > sio3 not found at 0x2e8 By the fact that the modem hasnt shown up I would guess its a winmodem but I dont know.

See if you can find the page that lists them all...or post the model number and the numbers of any of the chips on there and someone here migth know.
