Marc,

You can find information on supported hardware via this page:

http://www.freebsd.org/releases/index.html

The beast appears to to a SATA raid controller. 

A quick search of the mail archives indicates that the controller maybe
supported by 5.0 and later. As Gabor has suggested try a later version -
6.0 looks good 

Good Luck

Rob

FreeBSD 4.11 is obsolete and unsupported. Maybe you will find an

Most cheap modems are  winmodems. These are modems that offload a lot of the 
signal processing from hardware into drivers.  The drivers are typically 
windows only, hence the name winmodems.

I understand there has been a lot of progress in making winmodems work under 
Linux (see  ), but things are a lot easier if you use a 
proper hardware modem.

I use the Mailman mailing list handler, and it includes an option to require 
moderator approval for messages larger than some configurable size.  Would 
this be a reasonable option for the FreeBSD lists?  I'd hate to reject all 
large messages just because we can't imagine a need for it at the moment, but 
I certainly understand the need to limit them as much as possible.

If this is the first time it's happened, then setting a 1 MB (or 2 MB) 
limit won't affect many people, nor will it affect anyone you don't want 
to affect.  I think a limit is quite reasonable.

If someone on the list has something really large to send, he or she can 
always offer it first, and then only those truly interested will reply 
and can get it directly, off list, saving the rest of the list membership 
the time and expense.

I'm still wondering what could possibly have been in 9 megs that

Look, maintainers may indeed be interested in dumps that exceed
100kB, but there is no reason to post stuff like that to a
public mailing list.  If there is anything that has to be that
big or bigger for some reason, stick on the web and provide a

I do not see how it can be more regulation to not bring in a regulation as a

In fact, what you're suggesting is more regulation.  Intelligent, yes,
but it means more work. 

I've sent a message to the FreeBSD postmaster suggesting a limit of
100 kB.  My reasoning for this relatively low limit: nobody's going to
look at much more anyway, and it will "encourage" people to quote
carefully :-)

Maybe it's the first, but I'm guessing it won't be the last. Now that
people have seen its possible, we can probably expect some individuals
to gain some small amusement by sending huge attachments to the list.

I propose that we decide on a realistic size limit for freebsd-*

Knowing what kind of setup you have Greg, I can believe that.

Although it has opened up a rather large can of worms.  Can the list
maintainers restrict message sizes to less than a meg?  I honestly
can't imagine any possible reason for sending an attachment larger than
500K (shar files, etc) to a public mailing list.

Is it worth looking into doing this, or am I barking up the wrong

According to file(1) it's UTF-16. The following command made it
readable:

iconv -c -f UTF-16 -t ISO_8859-1 Report.txt >report.txt

At a glance, the hardware looks compatible with FreeBSD, although I
don't know about the webcam.

I would suggest that you NEVER ever attach such a large file to an email

I'm pretty sure the only winmodem supported on FreeBSD is the Lucent one see:
/usr/ports/comms/ltmdm

The Motorola could be supported by the Linmodem driver.  If you wanted to use 
that on FreeBSD you would have to port the code yourself probably.  This 
would not be easy since the driver subsystems in linux and FreeBSD differ a 
lot.  For the linmodem info see:
http://www.linmodems.org/
