Luis, If you are going to be using Linux and FreeBSD of any of the other BSDs, it would be in your best interest to pick up a "real" modem, while I have heard, and you have said that you were able to get the winmodem working with a driver, this will not always be the case. Also while Windows may require you to install a drive for a "real" modem, Linux and FreeBSD will use them with no special drivers just plug them in and go. A while back I was able to pick up a Diamond 56K external very reasonable at a local computer store moving sale. It worked great until I was able to get hooked up to broadband. As a side note, sometime I would like to travel to Brazil, from what I have seen and read, it looks like a very beautiful country, and I bet the weather is great. Good luck -- Lute ************************ * Power Provided * * by * * FreeBSD 5.1 RELEASE * ************************
