If the pci modem is listed as unknown in /var/run.dmesg.boot log then it's an winmodem. If it's listed with an modem mfg name then it's an hardware modem and will function in FBSD. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of ABDALLAH Faycal Sent: Monday, July 08, 2002 3:49 AM To: 'Joshua Lee'; Faissal ABDALLAH Cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: RE: pci internal modems. thx all for the informations but i was just want to ask you guys how do i know if my internal modem is a "hardware modem" or "controller modem" as jushua said?? regards faissal -----Message d'origine----- De: Joshua Lee [mailto:yid@softhome.net] Date: lundi 8 juillet 2002 01:02 À: Faissal ABDALLAH Cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Objet: Re: pci internal modems.

A few internal modems today, like US Robotics Performance Pro, fit that description. Also many old internal modems work fine. Otherwise, you can't go wrong with an external modem. FreeBSD supports both serial and USB external modems.
