This may seem like an ignorant-of-pc question, (sue me, I'm a mac developer), 
but do the internal pc modems on the market today emulate COM ports? E.G.
are they transparent to BSD, so they JUST WORK? (I know that's a rare
concept on the pc)

Considering most 288 INTERNAL modems these days are around $80 to $90
CHEAPER being internal, it would seem like a smart choice... unless it
doesn't work with FreeBSD..

Do they?????
