Someone back me up on this one. I figure that the same problem with winmodem the Linux crowd has is the same with FreeBSD. Winmodem are not REAL modems. They are telephone adaptors that depend on their drivers for carry out the functions of a modem. Real modems have this ability hardwired in.  To use a Winmodem with linux/FreeBSD,you have to have a drive written for that operation system. I know that they exist for Linux for some modems, but I'm not sure about FreeBSD.
