A bit curious - what version of FreeBSD did you apply this against? I ran into the same exact trouble, with the same modem (USR5610B) with one particular motherboard running 5.1. Either the machine would freeze after a couple minutes, or it would freeze when I tried to start communicating. This only happened on one particular motherboard (5 other motherboards worked fine, same exact model number). For your reference, I found another modem that worked on all 6 systems - the Multitech MT5634ZPX. We've already got ~100 of these 3com/USR modems, so we're sufficiently stuck with them, but other than that one system they've worked flawlessly. -Matthew Bertrand > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd- > hardware@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Rick C.
