It requires device drivers to run under windows. It may not run under any other OS because it is device driver dependent. My advice to you is to go out and buy a 'real' modem. The reason freebsd fails to see it is that it needs the device driver in order to do that, and the device driver is written for windows.... >By the way, is FreeBSD user friendly? yes, it's just choosy who its friends are :-) To reply via email please use news-reply at i-zone dot demon dot co dot uk.
