Thank you for your reply. I have since rebuilt the kernel from the PAO /stand/sysinstall. Now instead of showing a zp probed, I have card0 - card3 devices in /dev. My PCMCIA card does indeed have four slots, and the Xircom credit card modem is plugged into the first card0 slot. Setting the device in ppp.conf to /dev/card0, now allows user PPP to attempt to dial (before there was no valid device to set it to). It attempts to dial out, but there is no dial tone, the little light on the credit card modem dongle does not light up and dial fails. Now I wonder is there further tweaking I can do, or am I stuck with an incompatable credit card modem? How can I find out? If I do find that the Xirocm is not compatable, the PAO installer has a list of known good modems. Next step (unless I get further advice) is to try hooking the laptop up to an external modem and trying that. At least that would allow me to access ports, but it is not a mobile computing solution.
