I think I may run into a problem with my modem. I have a winmodem or hsp modem. Will I still be able to use this modem with FreeBSD to dial into my ISP which is BlueLight? I cannot afford to buy another modem right now. Please advise as what I should do. Thanks Brian E-mail - wileycoyote_1@hotmail.com
