Hello:

I have installed FreeBSD2.2.5 on my Compaq Presario 4130.
But it can't recognize the built-in modem(Compaq 33.6kbps) .
Can anyone out of there help me with this problem?

Thanks in advance.

I have a compaq presario and I think all compaq modems are "win
modems". If this is true, sorry, you need a new modem. :(

I had the same prob with Linux.

For what it's worth, a Presario 4112 that I had some time back had a
modem with drivers that suggested it was an AT&T modem. There may have
been a reason for Compaq to switch with the 4130, but it's probably worth
a look.

Oddly enough, despite the * of the "8.3" naming convention, I've
actually been about 85%-90% accurate in looking at the titles of the
driver files and DLLs to determine manufacturer. And manufacturers
continue to use that 8.3 despite Win's LFN support.

At least it should help you figure out if the modem has a UNIX/Linux
counterpart.
