I've seen far too many of these things than is healthy. These particular modems are even less expensive than 33.6Kb/s "real" modems, and are therefore the only types ever included in complete systems now. Even top-of-the-line, brand-name computer systems that ship with brand-name 3COM/USR modems have the Winmodem version. I recommend you throw it out the nearest MSWindow. -Noah To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
