: I just installed FreeBSD 1.1. I am new to BSD and was wondering if the kernel was compiled with modem support in it. I have a file that told how to set up the modem, it said something about have to recompile the kernel. Any advice would be helpful.

I have FreeBSD 1.1 installed and am using it fine for callin.  I did
have set up my modem for auto answer using pcplus on a DOS machine,
and then store the settings in non-volital memory.  After that, though
everything works great!  The recompile of the kernel is only if you
want to use a multi-port board.
