The problem I'm having is that my Freebsd system it not setup for Internet connectivity, so when I need to look for information or sent email I have to switch drives and use win95 (I use drive bay switching to run win95 and Freebsd). I have been reading the Freebsd book to learn how connect to the Internet, but there seems to be very little on how to install the modem. I read in a linux how-to that win modems will not work with unix system, is this true? I have a 33.6 us robotics win modem, if this modem will not work what modem should I buy and where can I find information on installing it? Can I use the linux how-to doc on modem installation for Freebsd. Does freebsd use drivers for modems and other cards like windows does? Any help is appreciated.
