Just use the built-in dialer - it's called ppp. See the manpage for it, or the handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/userppp.html you shouldn't need to download any drivers, unless it's a Lucent Winmodem, in which case the ltmdm port might prove helpful. -- Dan Pelleg To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
