Actually, the modem might get support if it's a Lucent WinModem. See ports/comms/ltmdm for the binary-only kernel module. > I'm now at a cross road.

Also, CardBus cards are only supported on -CURRENT. You should give it a shot just for kicks, if you have time. Although.. on -CURRENT sources I don't see "RBEM" anywhere in defaults/pccard.conf, so you may be out of luck anyways.
