They have proprietary drivers that so far only work with windows. Some have been written for Linux, but I've never heard of anybody getting one of those "linmodem" drivers to work with FreeBSD. Best bet is to sell the winmodem on ebay and get high speed access ISDN/cable/DSL if it is available in your area. Once you get it, you'll never go back to a modem. If you can't do that, get either an external modem or an ISA internal modem with jumpers (almost all of which are real modems and will work with FreeBSD). > And second will freeBSD work with my BootMagic > program and let me choose wether i want to boot into Windows or freeBSD? > Thanks for your help. I don't know about BootMagic, but the FreeBSD bootloader will allow you to boot into windows or FreeBSD.
