As a rule, any modem will work with FreeBSD, provided it is NOT a Winmodem. Winmodems will work only with, ahmmm...., Windoze ! (Amazing, isn't it ?) The modem relies on the OS (if we can actually call it an OS) all the processing. You need a special driver to run this pice of crap, only provided for Win95. Forget it. Buy a good standard modem, external or intrnal, and have a good surf.
