(win?)modem

[fbsd_user]

FreeBSD does not work with winmodems.
FreeBSD uses hardware modems only.
That being said: there is the ltmdm port of the Linux lucent
winmodem driver that works with some of the conexant winmodems.
Only thing you can do is install the ltmdm port and see if it
works with your modem.
If not then you will have to purchase a true hardware modem.
I use the zoom external model 3049L modem.

Hey folks!

As a long time user of FreeBSD, I have come to a problem I cannot
solve
alone :) So your help is apreciated...

I have moved to an appartement where I have to rely on a modem for
the
time being. DSL is following soon, but until then I have purchased a
modem
wich claims to be a hardware modem. The main chip on the device
says:

Conexant         <- bad news?
RHS6D/SP-PCI     <- google gives no avail...
R6795-11         /
F21824.2         <- whatever...
0011  MEXICO     \

In Windows XP (wich I installed because FreeBSD didnt detect the
darn
thing) the device is recognized as "best data data fax modem" and
working.
It deems the device to be using IRQ 17 and I/O EC00-EC07, but
telling this
to device.hints doesnt work (irq out of bitmap). The hardware string
Windows gives me is: PCI\VEN_14F1&DEV_1085&SUBSYS_108514F1&REV_89.

>From the looks of it I've come to think this is a software
WinModem, but I
do not doubt that this can be just one of the posibilities of the
device,
and thus used by Windows (easy road).

Is there any way to get this thing working with FreeBSD (5.4)? Or is
this
indeed a dreaded WinModem?

Please help me with this :) And please CC me, as I am not on this
list
right now (modem... bandwith...) Thanks!
