I have done some reading and you are right. I can't see any USB ADSL supported modems... there are some Alcatels but people are having probs with them. If I understand correctly the Ethernet ADSL modems aren't dependant on host drivers. Am I correct? Does that mean that I can use them under fbsd? Can you give me some guidelines? sorry for the stupid questions - still new to ADSL .. and the info on the net is sooooo much, difficult to grasp from the first time. thanx ----- Original Message ----- From: "taxman" <taxman@acd.net> To: "DJ Boris" <dj_boris@mail.ru>; "freebsd-questions" <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Sunday, March 23, 2003 7:32 PM Subject: Re: supported USB ADSL modems > On Sunday 23 March 2003 11:00 am, DJ Boris wrote: > > hi there, > > > > where can I find out what USB ADSL modems are supported by freeBSD. > > I am using 5.0-release and thinking of getting ADSL. > > Can anyone help? > > Well if they were supported, they would most likely be listed in the hardware > page for your release listed on the FreeBSD homepage. > > I don't think any USB ADSL modems are supported but I could be wrong.
