<question id="support-winmodem">
<para>Does FreeBSD support software modems, such as
Winmodems?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>FreeBSD supports many software modems via add-on
software. The <filename>comms/ltmdm</filename> port adds
support for modems based on the very popular Lucent LT
chipset. The <filename>comms/mwavem</filename> port
supports the modem in IBM Thinkpad 600 and 700
laptops.</para>
<para>You cannot install FreeBSD via a software modem; this
software must be installed after the OS is
installed.</para>
