Stephan, I agree with Lee, a hardware modem is much easier. Some people call these DSP modems. They cost a whole lot more at the store, so I went to the local computer junk store (every town has one) and got a couple of them for 25 dollars. Look for the Com settings on the card, that is usually a good sign. It also helps if you can disable PNP. -Steve p.s. An external modem, although junky is an awesome option. Even borrow one. You can see the lights a flashin' when there is activity on the port. This makes it a little easier when you are first learning how to set it up. Plus, it is fun to watch (yes, I admit I stare at the Windows DUN animation in the systray). leegold wrote: > I think it's easier to use a hardware modem. > Can you swap a hardware modem in there? > IF your motherboard has an isa slot, it's > a pretty good bet that if you put a hardware modem in > there FreeBSD will detect it and it will work.
