This really should have been sent to freebsd-questions .... the experts tend to get somewhat annoyed with people asking / answering techo questions in freebsd-newbies :) If the thing works in WinNT4 you "may" be in luck. I'm not that surprised about W2K because its had some significant changes. FreeBSD is reasonably forgiving with hardware so its worth trying the nearest best guess. Not having messed with ISDN cards (cost of ISDN in OZ is criminal) I haven't a clue whether the generic kernel has support for any of those devices, however a poke through both the "GENERIC" and the "LINT" kernel config files might be rewarding ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mauro 01" <mauro.01@libero.it> To: <freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Wednesday, May 09, 2001 6:34 PM Subject: R: Support for US Robotics ISDN Modem PCI Internal > Thanks for your reply! > What I know is that this card works with NT 4.0 (Win2000 is not supported). > I don't think this is sort of winmodem for ISDN, but a " "normal" internal > ISDN modem.
