Is it a winmodem ?? .... if so the best thing you can do with it is donate it to some needy Windows user. I've seen some posting recently that suggests there is a patch to make these abortions work in FreeBSD but I've never had the inclination or the need to try making water run uphill. Far easier to beg / borrow / steal / hire a proper external hardware modem that connects with a regular cable to COM1 or COM2 (and I don't mean one of those moronic GSM mobile disasters that are, to all intents & purposes, only external winmodems) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dale Chulhan - Home" <dchulhan@uwi.tt> To: <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Saturday, May 05, 2001 9:45 PM Subject: My modem still not wukkin' > Hello people, I'm in a bit of a situation here and I can't fing any help > already on the web .... > > I'm using a copy of FreeBSD 3.1 and and Aztec Modem. > > Over the last couple of days I have tried to get my modem workind and I > cannot get it to work. > > In windows 98 Se it says that my modem is COM4 ..
