There is, I've used one. While I can't gaurntee it will work, check out the umodem driver. Just load the driver with 'kldload umodem' and see if it detects anything. dmesg is a handy command for such things. There are also some other possibilities, check out http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.1R/hardware-i386.html under USB. The device probably will be something like /dev/ucom0, but check the output of dmesg. > External modem is connected to motherboard by serial cable or USB > cable. > Serial external modem works right out of the box and USB external > modem are all winmodems. Any serial modem should work fine for FreeBSD using either the hardware serial ports on your motherboard with the sio driver or possibly some USB serial adapters that are supported. USB modems are not winmodems, but they still sometimes require a special driver that FreeBSD does not have. > There is a port ltmdm which works for a limited number of PCI > winmodems but nothing for USB-winmodems. >=20 > You are SOL. >=20 > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Warren > Block > Sent: Thursday, June 08, 2006 9:29 AM > To: Steve Bertrand > Cc: 'John Andrewartha'; 'freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG' > Subject: RE: USB-Serial ?? >=20 >=20 > On Wed, 7 Jun 2006, Steve Bertrand wrote: >=20 >>> The saga of the 3G modem.
