As long as it's not a Winmodem, FreeBSD shouldn't care what kind of modem it is. > (PcTel claims that this is/is becoming a popular modem.

It can rarely be truelly turned off, there has to be jumpers on the modem itself to do so. If it a PNP modem, you'll have to compile PNP options into the Kernal (I have no idea if it's already there in 3.x) If it truelly a Winmodem, there will probally never be drivers for it... Besides, a Winmodem causes to many system resources to be used... something I personally don't like. :) Rick To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
