i have a dreaded winmodem in my toshiba satelite 2540cds Laptop. Im using FBSD 3.2Stable and found out too late that winmodems are the most nonsensical pieces of &)$#%@! out there. But ive found a tiny light of hope - i think. linux users are using so called linmodems - using some linux software 'drivers' to utilize the functions of these crappy winmodems. My question is, can these linux 'drivers' be used somehow on FBSD? I understand how linux binaries can be run on FBSD, but this 'driver' is not exacly a binary (i think). it has a .o extension, as in ltmodem.o. Is there something i need to do to this file to make it part of my kernel, or make it an executable...??? the file i dloaded is the lucent5.68 linmodem driver. Link found at: http://www.o2.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html it comes with a few files concerning the linux style of installation/uninstallation If all goes to crud, can anyone recommend a good laptop modem? PCMCIA? USB? Thanks, Ric, NY To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
