Date: 6 Sep 1995 00:10:36 GMT Organization: Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, Melbourne, Australia. Lines: 14 Message-ID: <42iots$2ld@aggedor.rmit.EDU.AU> NNTP-Posting-Host: minyos.xx.rmit.edu.au NNTP-Posting-User: s9312648 X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] I assume that FreeBSD does not support internal modems, especially software upgradable internal modems, as I have seen no reference to them anywhere (in the FAQs or the web pages or other misc. docs). I have the opportunity to buy cheaply a Digicom Softmodem Connection Series 144+fax, though I am torn because I sure it won't be supported by FreeBSD, which I want to install soon. The necessary driver software that comes with it is of course for DOS. How hard would it be to set up an internal with FreeBSD and to port the drivers for it?!? (I've done a little UNIX system programming, though I haven't yet had any experience maintaining a PC running UNIX). Tobe'.
