I've just moved to a local with no broadband network support, and find myself needing a modem. For now, I've hijacked one of the motherboard serial ports and borrowed a modem, but this is temporary. I'd like a solution that avoids putting more ISA devices in the system, but it's not clear what will - or won't - work with 4.0-RELEASE. The options seem to be (in order of preference): 1) A PCI card modem. Do any work? The drivers recognize a "VIA 82C686 AC97 Modem", but that 1) looks like a motherboard, and 2) I don't see any other support for it. 2) A USB modem. /usr/src/sys/dev/umodem.c exists, but looks like stubs, and USB modems aren't mentioned in either the GENERIC or LINT kernels. Anyone know if one or more of those will work? 3) A PCI I/O card. Again - are there any that work? There's a "cyclades" driver; anyone care to provide a product identity I can use to purchase a card? 4) An ISA modem or I/O card. Oh well. Recommendations?
