I haven't used one of these myself, but I can't imagine that there's anything specific about them which would cause a problem for FreeBSD. Out of the box, most modems will try to run at full speed, but you can influence this by setting S registers. I'm sure that the K56s are the same in this respect. > My school will not be up to 56K anytime soon (currently at 28.8K), but I > want to be able to connect with them at their maximum.
