Win98 finds it as COM2 (COM1 aka sio0 is an external 9pin serial connector). What I've seen from everyone (and what I suspect is reality - which I can't check at the moment because the misses has the laptop) is that this is one of those dreaded WinModem beasties I think using the Lucent DSP. If that's the case, the best I can do is disable sio1 in my config until someone gets ambitious enough to write a driver. [Interesting project - I haven't done any DSP work yet...] There's some stuff I've found on various pages regarding WinModems which should help me identifiy whose chip etc. is there once I get my hands on the machine again.
