Hello, Dann, I saw your message reply: [snip] 've got FreeBSD working on a Satellite 2595xdvd. Installing was no problem, but there are some issues. The built-in "modem" is a losemodem, and seems to be the only type installed by Toshiba these days (and they won't/can't install a real one, even if you offer to pay extra). The so-called BIOS setup is a royal PITA, doesn't allow you to change a lot of things other machines do, and getting tech info out of Toshiba is like pulling teeth without anaesthetic. On the other hand, my Satellite is fast, light, and the two PCMCIA slots hold an ethernet and a modem quite nicely. The display (once I looked on the Xfree86 site) works like a charm. Would really like to see such a web site, too. HTH. Dann Lunsford [end snip] I have FreeBSD 4.1 on a Toshiba 2595 CDS with an Internal ITU modem. As I understand from you, this is a so-called "winmodem" and there is no way to get it worked with FBSD? Is yes, than I better go for the PMCIA modem as well (I just want to be sure). Comments from others are appreciated as well. Many thanks and regards, -brt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
