 replace this

Try:
/usr/ports/comms/ltmdm

Works for my laptop builtin winmodem (Compaq Evo N610c)

Best of luck,

If you can, take your 5699B back and get a 5610B. It's a great
non-winmodem made by USR, and it gave me many successful and
uninterrupted dial-up hours.

As an aside, someone should make a database of working modems, like
with working printers. Someone might have done so already, /me shrugs.

OK, mine is the 5610B as well.  I was not sure if the 5699B was a 
winmodem or not.  I misread the thread thinking that he replaced a 
winmodem with a non-winmodem.So, I concur get the 5610B and your 
problems will be gone.

Hey Jeff,

   No, you are correct. I had a 5699B and I have now replaced it with a 5610B.
Both modems do not work with 4.8_RELEASE. I started another thread called
struggling with hylafax install which you have already responded to that
details the problems with the 5610B modem.
   From your uname output I have decided to upgrade to 4.9 RELEASE in the
hopes that that supports it. I can't do a 5 branch upgrade right now.

fingers crossed and thanks,
Alex

P.S.- I'll update after the results of my upgrade.

On 4.8 the dmesg
pci0: unknown card (vendor=0x12b9, dev=0x1007) at 10.0 irq 2

Means one of 2 things.

your modem is what is known as an winmodem. A cheap modem mfg just
for ms/windblows market. Which FBSD does not work with. If this PCI
modem card works under windows with special driver loaded then it's
am winmodem. You can look at the modem circuit board and if it has
lucent chips, it's an winmodem. You are SOL. Replace it with an PCI
modom card that has onboard controller and DSP functions.  Or use
any external serial modem.

Your PC has legacy bios which does not ID PCI modem cards correctly.
In this case add  device pun  to your kernel source and recompile
it.
This device has additional code to probe your system's bio's using
different methods which in most cases results on your PCI modem card
being found. Also works for unknown Nic cards on PC with legacy
bio's.

Hello,

I've been trying to get this faxmodem setup so I can use
hylafax, but with
marginal luck. There is lots of documentation for adding support for
ISA PNP
modems, but I can't find anything for PCI PNP modems. I don't know
what to do
from here.

Here is some output - any recommendations greatly appreciated:

pnpinfo is not relevant with this card because this card is PCI, not
ISA.
