Lets assume that I want to do this, but for various reasons I need a modem which is a) INTERNAL (so I don't take up more rack space than needed), b) PCI, as that is the only slot type I have and c) a voice modem so I can use voice announcements of error conditions. Preferably supported by something like vgetty so I don't have to write my own voice io code. Oh yeah and d) supported by FreeBSD (I guess that was kinda implied). What options do I have in today's marketplace? - Forrest W. Christian (forrestc@imach.com) AC7DE ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The Innovation Machine Ltd.
