I'm afraid it won't be long before these are the only modems available for laptops. I even accidentally bought on in PCMCIA format a couple of weeks ago; nothing in the documentation indicated that it was a "winmodem". While I disagree with the idea of "winmodems", I think we're going to have to support them sooner or later. I do agree that "someone else" can do it, though :-) Greg -- Finger grog@lemis.com for PGP public key See complete headers for address and phone numbers To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
