	Reposting this info under a meaningful subject line so it can be found in
the archives when searched.  Just for the record. Maybe someone can take the
winmodem drivers from this web page and get it added to the ports section of
the FBSD install CD, or better yet work it into the base kernel where it
should really be.

I have installed them with no problems under 4.2, but I no longer use
a laptop with a WinModem, so I have not installed recent versions. (If
your system is an IBM, you might also be able to use the mWave driver
in ports.
