One specific recommendation would be the Aopen FM56-ITU/2, its ISA bus but on a P120 I'm sure ISA slots aren't a problem. Its a jumpered modem and therefore works perfect - have one on my FreeBSD / Hylafax box. They are priced around $70 in Canada, which equates to about US$46. If you can't find it, let me know. http://www.aopen.com/products/modem/fm56itu2.htm Regards, Kulraj Gurm ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cliff Sarginson" <cliff@raggedclown.net> To: "Devin Smith" <devin-freebsdquestions@rintrah.org> Cc: <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG>; <want_2_learn_freebsd@hotmail.com> Sent: Monday, September 03, 2001 10:27 PM Subject: Re: modem needed > On Mon, Sep 03, 2001 at 11:10:34PM -0400, Devin Smith wrote: > > >Hi, > > > > > >I need to buy a modem this week for my P120 freebsd 4.3 box.
