I've had the misfortune to encounter those abortions several times recently & if they aren't winmodems (apparently thats a registered name belong USR) then its purely a matter of symantics. I haven't even tried to use them in FreeBSD, but they are very common here in "Wincomputers" aka entry level / homeuser quality Acer / Compak / Dell IBM / HP / etc machines sold by the likes of Hardly Normal (OZ) & probably Walmart (US). They definitely won't work in W2K, so thats usually a good indication of a what most people would consider a winmodem, notwithstanding the fact that USR appears to own the name. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul LeBlond" To: Sent: Monday, May 14, 2001 6:37 PM Subject: Modem configuration > Well, I've had trouble trying to get PPP to work for me, and I think that > it's my modem.
