Indeed.

Phil, I don't have any suggestions re: the lack of pc card slots (which 
you'll obviously want to address further), but I notice that you seem to 
have a very similar mini-PCI card as I do (I had to buy mine separately 
on Ebay, 'coz my Omnibook 6000 came with the stinkin' useless 3Com NIC 
and even more useless 3Com winmodem):

This is almost identical to mine (mine ID's as dev=0x0445).

So you have a Lucent LT Winmodem. There's a driver for it. It works like 
a champ for me.

Try the ltmdm port (/usr/ports/comms, IIRC), it might get you on-line 
faster until you can re-build the kernel (and uses the built-in modem 
port too). Don't forget to change the modem device in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.

HTH.

Cheers,
