Re: How do I know if my internal PCI modem works on FreeBSD?

Is there a particular modem chipset which if it is spotted on the card, it is confirmed that it's more than a WinModem? There are various chipsets by both Lucent and Conextent (Formerly known as Rockwell). It seems that most of the hardware modems that I have come across use Conextent chipsets, but that can be hit and miss. Every Lucent one that I have seen is a Winmodem. 90 pecent of the time, if it's a PCI modem, then it's a Winmodem. -- Daniel Rudy ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

At about the time of 12/3/2005 7:38 AM, Wojciech Puchar stated the following: Basically, it all depends on how much you spent for the modem. A $15-20 modem is more than likely a WinModem (software modem) which FreeBSD does *NOT* support without a third party driver. If the modem cost $70-100, and it is recongized as a serial port by the sio driver, then it probably will work. externally connected modems (by serial) costs less than $100 anyway and do work for sure. many external modems does connect by USB port and can be cheaper, but check for hayes compatible label (or similar) as some USB modems are winmodems too. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] So, some USB modems are winmodems now? I was not aware of that. Besides, who wants a USB modem anyways? I didn't mention the external modems because the OP was asking specifically about his internal PCI modem. A good internal PCI hardware (controller based) modem is the Zoom 2920. They run about $80 or so at Fry's...If you can find them.

At about the time of 11/30/2005 10:50 PM, Foo Ji-Haw stated the following: Hello there, I'm thinking of plugging in a Motorola PCI modem into my FreeBSD box to act as a fax server (using HylaFax). I tried to look for documentation on the installation or support of such a modem on FreeBSD (Google, the Handbook), but found none. Can anyone point me in the right direction, or better still: tell me if my modem will work in FBSD 5.4? Thanks. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please wrap your lines properly. Basically, it all depends on how much you spent for the modem. A $15-20 modem is more than likely a WinModem (software modem) which FreeBSD does *NOT* support without a third party driver. If the modem cost $70-100, and it is recongized as a serial port by the sio driver, then it probably will work. The reason why I threw the cost of the equipment into the mix was because the cheap modems don't have the controller, DSP, data pump, or other required hardware. All the functions of those components is emulated in the software of the host system. This is why that are known as software modems. A hardware modem costs much more, but it also has all the required hardware such as the controller, DSP, data pump, etc. so it can function independantly of the host system software. You can also generally tell by looking at the modem itself. Usually, if you see a chip that has what looks like version numbers on it, as well as one or more large square chips and lots of circutry, then you probably have a hardware modem. The best way is lookup the model number on the manufacturer's web site and see what it is. If it says it's only compatible with Windows, then more than likely it's a software modem. -- Daniel Rudy ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
