: Well a flakey modem with a cheap Rockwell Chipset was the problem.  I've 
: been looking at the U.S. Robotics 28.8 internal but now I'm a bit 
: gun-shy.  Anyone know of any internal modems that do work with FreeBSD?

I am presently connected to my school system with my FreeBSD box with
USRobotics 28.8 bps internal modem, (FreeBSD just installed today!),
and it's working fine.  Now to download XWindows.
