Good old serial port external modem. By "old" I don't assume "old age", but "good thing which will really work". If you wish use modem while travel (without phoneline?) then look at some PCCard modems. But I think that if you have phoneline around you, you'll also have powerline, so better buy good external serial modem, and support manufacturers of these modems :-) . -- Igor Roboul, Unix System Administrator & Programmer @ sanatorium "Raduga", Sochi, Russia http://www.brainbench.com/transcript.jsp?pid=304744 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
