I've been using some Zoom USB Voice modems here with NetBSD for a while, and they've been working great. They're based on the Lucent Venus CRM chip, I think. Basically, for USB modems, avoid anything that doesn't say it has a controller. They seem to get marketted as "gamer" modems, since they put less strain on the host CPU. (Because they arn't winmodems.) > -----Original Message----- > From: Bruce M Simpson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, October 16, 2002 4:04 AM > To: Vladimir B.

Mind pointing me in the direction of these inexpensive PCMCIA serial cards? The ones I keep finding are over $100 USD. -- Chip Marshall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.chocobo.cx/chip/ GCM/CS d+(-) s+:++ a21>?
