I'd think you'd prefer this kind of modem because the newer PCI bus should give better data transfer between modem and computer, than would an ISA bus. |
I personally have not seen those. In all honestly FreeBSD does support
Win modems based on the Lucent Chip-set. Those were very popular at the day.
The driver is in ports and must be installed before you can see the modem in dmesg.
YMMV with that kind of stuff.
