I have an old laptop that I want to use as a special purpose router. My broadband will be down for a few months and my solar system needs to call home every so often to report production. My plan is to connect the solar system 'gateway' to the laptop via a crossover ethernet cable and have the laptop connect to my dial-up isp periodically so it can report its condition and production. One part is hanging this up. I have a Zoom 2975L pcmcia "dual mode pc card faxmodem" that I have not been able to get running on freebsd. I have found some previous conversations (in the archives) about this particular modem but they were all about problems, none had solutions. I have observed the same symptom others have seen, CIS too long and interrupt storm on irq11. Does anyone have any special sauce that will make this modem work? I am running "FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE-p8" but could upgrade if I thought it would help. Thanks for the help Norm
