I can't find anything about compatibility with FreeBSD so I'm wondering which modems/routers people have had luck with. I'm assuming routers will be less likely to cause problems because they can usually be configured from a web browser, but I know BT used to get quite stroppy about not having a Windows machine plugged into the USB modems so I'm guessing some of them may require a direct connection to Windows to do anything useful. I've heard mixed things about Alcatel kit on most OSes so I'm open to other options, I've also heard good stuff about DrayTek but only from Windows users. Since Ethernet isn't a problem and I've even got a couple of ZoomAir wireless NICs around I should be okay with most options I guess.
