Hi Mike!

Thanks so much for your help.  I will look at the files you mentioned.  I think my modem is a Winmodem because, in Windows 98 Control Panel -> Modems -> Diagnostics -> More info, Win98 identifies my modem as an HSP Micromodem 56 from PC Tel, Inc.  A PC Tel, Inc. HSP modem is identified on www.linmodems.org as a Winmodem of a type for which there exists Linux drivers.  According to www.linmodems.org, the "HSP" stands for "Host Signal Processing."  Is there significant doubt that my modem is a Winmodem?  What are the chances that a Winmodem driver might happen for NetBSD?  The linmodems site has an interesting list of reasons why a Winmodem might be well suited to a *nix box.  Thanks again!

Tom
