OK, you're wrong. :-) I've had the Zoom V.92 external fax modem work fine with 4.3 and 4.4, and a USR V.92 external fax modem work just as well with 4.4 and 4.5- prerelease. Unfortunately, I can't recommend anything to Mr. Hall, since both modems worked "out of the box" for me - I never had to fiddle with /etc/modems. (Unless you're just forgetting something. Check out Dru Lavigne's article on connecting to the Internet using ppp or cable modem, part of her FreeBSD Basics series at O'Reilly Network, which I find is very good at reminding me of all the essential steps.)
