I just exchanged a zoom external modem V.92 for a V.90 model.
V.92 is a brand new dial protocol which most ISP are in no
hurry to support.
I do not think FBSD sio can handle it.
The Zoom V.90 works with out any problems right out of the box.
It works under windows because you have to install the drives to
Make it work. FBSD has to have software change made in it's software
Which will take time before it gets distributed in a general release.

Correct me if I am wrong.

I've used the modem both 4.3 and 4.4 without modifying /etc/modems.
