So, I built a kernel with ucom and umodem in it. I have tried one I bought a while ago for use with windows, it is identified as STMicroelectronics Communicator and gets set up as ugen0. I thought I should get a ucom or umodem device? Is this a dead end? I notice that this device name is in the usbdevs file in the source, so maybe someone has done something with it somewhere? There is only one product in the little table in umodem.c so maybe this is just not a useful driver and I should be looking somewhere lese, but I can't spot any clues. If there is no way forward with that one, can someone reccomend a usb voice modem which I can buy and expect to work with FreeBSD 5.3+? -- rjc@interactive.co.uk _O_ |<
