I've noticed my PCTel (I think they hold the patent on this monstrosity) modem built into my Acer/TI Extensa laptop has a rather bizarre carrier tone and a weird (sounds like Europe almost) dialing sound as well. Crappy CPU speed can equal crappy modem performance. To the best of my knowledge FreeBSD does not support these modems. I'd be interested to know what DSI_SOFTMODEM(?) option is in LINT though.. Perhaps that's some sort of prelim for the DSI modems from Creative Labs subsidary? Maybe I'm just going nuts.. --- Drew "Droobie" Baxter Network Admin/Professional Computer Nerd(TM) OneEX: The OneNetwork Exchange, Bangor Maine USA http://www.droo.orland.me.us PGP ID: 409A1F7D To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
