Virtually all internal USR modems are winmodems (actually all PCI ones but maybe some ISA 56k ones aren't of the winmodem ilk... you still have the "plug & pray" bit that usually demands a non-standard COM port / IRQ to contend with however) Those disasters are best left to Win98 / WinME users. I believe someone was messing around with a patch to make winmodems work after some sort of fashion but I'd be quite surprised if its worthwhile. Far better to go get a "proper" modem & avoid all the aggro involved in trying to get action out of that thing. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wyatt Banks" <banksw@fang.cs.sunyit.edu> To: <questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Friday, May 11, 2001 9:22 AM Subject: USR 56k modem configuration question > I am running FreeBSD 4.2 release and trying to get my internal US Robotics > modem to work.
