So, I would correct the statement above to "FBSD > doesn't support vast majority of winmodems". Sounds closer, I have a hardware PCI modem in my 4.5 server which works fine :) > Another thought - using the latest version of FreeBSD, which > is 4.5, *might* give better results.

So yeah, upgrading would be the best idea :) -- Simon Dick simond@irrelevant.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
