I swapped the hdd from a 486sx20 to a 486dx2/80 because of problems with the serial ports, but I am still getting the following errors reported on the console and /var/log/messages. Kernel is the standard GENERIC kernel, with all the unrequired hardware deleted via -c on bootup. There is a standard NE2000 compatible Network card, but that's on IRQ 5, so it's not interfering.. There is nothing else in the machine bar an ide hdd and a vga card, and the only additional service running is named. The modem is a Racal Winstream ISDN modem, which basically pretends to be a hayes modem, connected to COM1:. cts/rts handshake is definitely on.. After several of the following messages, it will actually dial and connect correctly.

The only things on the network that would have been on were this box and an NT4 Server. Should I be blocking anything else anywhere?
