Just curious, why would PCI be a bad choice? Some newer motherboards have no ISA slots at all. Would FreeBSD have any problems with non-Winmodem PCI modems? What do you think about this US Robotics (3Com) modem: http://www.3com.com/client/pcd/analog/pci_faxmodem_features.html It's not a Winmodem. Regarding external modems, the annoying thing about them is that who knows how long the power adapter is gonna last. Thanks.
