So, I would correct the statement above to "FBSD > doesn't support vast majority of winmodems". > Yes, I suppose that is even more correct. So many people I deal with use nothing but winmodems and therefore I often forget that there are still card modems that actually do their own processing. Correction accepted and restated :-) > Another thought - using the latest version of FreeBSD, which > is 4.5, *might* give better results. FreeBSD 2.2.7 is quite old. No doubt on that one either. I use -STABLE myself on at least one FBSD box, but am a relative stranger to ppp, etc. Hopefully Magnus's 3Com is usable, then, so which device node does he need?
