Well in the past I tried to make this device working, but since I got broadband, I had no problems running FreeBSD and connecting through the NIC so I had forgotten about it. I have asked people with knowledge and told me you cannot connect with internal modems (or at least it is hard) so it is better if you get an external one. Is this right?? In order to send you output like dmesg or pciconf -lv or anything else I will have to write them down or use a floppy or something else to transfer to windows which I am using now...You see, if I cannot make the modem to work I cannot connect to the internet using FreeBSD. But I will do if is needed. Any help?? Spiros Papadopoulos
