Hi again, sorry to bother you again but who else would know? Can ayone make an educated guess on what has the best possibility to work for OpenBSD 4.1: * US Robotics USB modem * Other USB modem (Sweex) * ZONET ZFM5600 MODEM PC-CARD that is supposed "have drivers" for Linux * Any Serial line modem (Sweex) that claims to do AT commands
Serial lines are almost extinct on modern laptops, so I would prefer not to buy a serial line modem.
