For sales Press #1", and "Please leave your message now" (sound card then samples the caller). In which case the modem will probably work without the sound card, but by the sound of it the modem is a WinModem anyway, so it's not going to help you much... If it were me, I'd try to replace the modem with a more conventional/compatible one... Just my $0.02's worth. -Kp To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
