I hate to tell YOU this. But last week I was at CompUSA and I say a _SOFTWARE_ driven _EXTERNAL_ modem. I tell you, nothing is sacred anymore. :) -Chris -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of James R.

In all honesty, the PCTel chipset hardly works at all even in windows. I would recommend that if you can, take the modem back and if you have the money, look for an external modem as these are most assuredly hardware driven.
