If this model card won't work with DOS or Win 3.x, I expect it is a win modem, and that requires secret support from the CPU.

This question is asked often, so a visit to the mailing list archives at www.freebsd.org will shed even more light for your answer. I have pppd running by reading "The Complete FreeBSD", and looking at the pppd(8) and chat(8) man pages. The man pages will tell you all you need to know to get pppd running. And, yes, it really is that simple. Of course, the background in "The Complete FreeBSD" helped, but v2.0 contained some errors the man page had right. You don't need any utilities from Gnome to do this. Bruce To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
