I'm glad to hear that APM works! Of course, some of the devices (for example, a SCSI adapter and two PCMCIA slots) appear and disappear when the machine docks and undocks, and I don't know if FreeBSD can handle this. Has anyone tried it? I've put in a query about doing a driver for the MWave modem. But in the meantime, I'm looking for a workaround that will get the modem to work right away. Is it possible to load the DOS driver by booting DOS first and then starting FreeBSD from AUTOEXEC.BAT? I've never done a two-stage boot, but if this would be a workaround I'd like to try it. --Brett At 07:57 AM 10/2/97 +0000, Michael G. wrote: >> I'm looking at putting FreeBSD on a ThinkPad 760E with an MWave internal >> modem.
