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. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG] On Behalf Of S Roberts Sent: Saturday, January 26, 2002 12:00 AM To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org 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.
