Hey folks!
As a long time user of FreeBSD, I have come to a problem I cannot solve
alone :) So your help is apreciated...
I have moved to an appartement where I have to rely on a modem for the
time being. DSL is following soon, but until then I have purchased a modem
wich claims to be a hardware modem. The main chip on the device says:
Conexant <- bad news?
RHS6D/SP-PCI <- google gives no avail...
R6795-11 /
F21824.2 <- whatever...

In Windows XP (wich I installed because FreeBSD didnt detect the darn
thing) the device is recognized as "best data data fax modem" and working.
It deems the device to be using IRQ 17 and I/O EC00-EC07, but telling this
to device.hints doesnt work (irq out of bitmap). The hardware string
Windows gives me is: PCI\VEN_14F1&DEV_1085&SUBSYS_108514F1&REV_89.
From the looks of it I've come to think this is a software WinModem, but I
do not doubt that this can be just one of the posibilities of the device,
and thus used by Windows (easy road).
Is there any way to get this thing working with FreeBSD (5.4)? Or is this
indeed a dreaded WinModem?
Please help me with this :) And please CC me, as I am not on this list
right now (modem... bandwith...) Thanks!
Look through linmodem.com. They have a nice list on there of true
hardware modems, winmodems, etc.
