USB modem support on a FreeBSD box
I know about all the drivers being for windoz. And how we're pretty much left out in the cold. Does any solution exist? For example, if I access my USB modem via the Wine emulator, will that work? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
