Do you mean "ltmdm", the Lucent Winmodem driver? I'm not sure it's the same modem; generally the modems are on a little daughter card that's pinned out the same for a lot of the different manufacturers (sometimes by the PC vendor), so that they can switch vendors. Last Compaq I looked at has a Rockwell (guess it's "Conexant" now) HCF... just like my Sony. The HCF modems are really cheap little buggers; unlike the HSF, they lack even more on-board intelligence (just when you though winmodems couldn't get any stupider). Did your E700 work with -STABLE? The "ltmdm" thing didn't work with some Lucent modems, in the same way the binary only Olicomm driver wroked with HSF, identified HCF as a modem, but then did not work with it. I'm pretty sure it's still lying about finding some modems (but maybe not yours; dpends on your experience with -stable). I *hate* winmodems. 8-(. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
