I have been told that the US robotics external works very good. If this is the modem that I should buy does it need to be plug and play, I was told plug and play was not necessary with external modems because there are no resources to be used except the ones that are used by the serial port, and is there anything I have to do to hook it up besides plugging it in the serial port? Are there drivers to install? If not how does Freebsd detect the modem? Kenneth To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
