Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Many new laptops have built-in modems these days. Are they supported ? Or do you need to buy an external or pcmcia modem ? How do these built-in modems behave anyway ? Are they similar to internal win-modems (which I believe are not supported) or do they appear as connected to an internal serial port or pcmcia port ? I have read the PAO FAQ and laptop survey, but I'm still confused about these questions. Please reply directly since I'm not a subscriber. Soren
