USR makes V90 PCI MODEMS. You can save $50 buying a WinModem if and only if, Winblows is the ONLY platform you expect it to work with (don't be a foole). But an extra $50 will get you a V90 PCI MODEM that is a *real* modem. Internal or external (slightly higher cost due to case+power supply). My USR 56K PCI is in my OS/2/WinNT box, because my Internet gateway is VL-bus 486/66 (and runs like a dream). This gateway uses a slightly older USR DSVD 33K ISA based modem. Unix systems measure "uptime" in years, Winblows measures it in minutes. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
