Short answer:
Internal modems bad, external modems good.
Long(er) answer.
I've experienced nothing but misery with internal modems. Even the
old-school isa non-pnp ones...not worth the extra headaches..External
modems, on the other hand, just plugem in, point fbsd to the right port,
and away you go! I've had good luck with D-link and 3Coms. Although my
3Com (quite a new model, not sure which) does not have a telephone out
to plug a phone in. Annoying, but works otherwise.
Cheers.

Subject: re: Compatible Modem?
Hello,
Sorry if this has been discussed to death here, but I tried
google as well and the online docs, but couldn't find any definitive
answers.
Is anyone out there able to point me to where I can find documentation
on what modems (external or otherwise) are compatible with FreeBSD at
this point, please?
Thanks for any assistance offered.
Regards,
Stacey
