So as to give you a heads up modems are showing up that do not explicitly define themselves as such (ie. Diamond SupraMax).

Can I use the linux how-to doc on modem installation for Suggestion, go with an external modem if you have the available connector and at least a 16550 UART. If not Diamond Supra's, and USRobotic's have proven to be the most reliable from my experience, especially when it comes to V.90 support. Pop it in and if it is plug and play you will have to make sure that you have pnp support built into your kernel. controller pnp0 And that you have the correct port and IRQ for the modem specified.

Refer to the handbook at http://www.freebsd.org/ or if installed in /usr/share/doc/handbook/, and the ppp tutorial. The user ppp is quite simple to set up using those documentations. > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message -- Regards, Kevin G.
