Win modems are designed for windows. The windows only software does all the work that's done by the hardware in a normal modem, so they are not as efficient as a normal modem. >I would like to be able to use FreeBSD to access internet, but have no >idea what solution there might be other than purchasing an older modem, >for which drivers might exist. There are plenty of new external serial port modems, all of which will work well with FreeBSD, and most internal _hardware_ modems will be fine though they can be a little tricky to set up. Personally I'd buy external every time. John. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
