Power managements works fine. The DSP chip doesn't work with FreeBSD though. (And, for what it's worth, my 'external' modem is so much faster than the built-in DSP/modem that I wouldn't even consider using it under Windows in any case.) However, I *am* disappointed with IBM, and will making a stink with our IM folks at Nokia to see if they can make a stink with IBM about this issue.
