I could if you want.  I've had bad luck with 2.2.5 and would care to stay
away from it.  ;)  I'll find a copy of the 2.2.5 boot.flp.  Yup, used
visual to set the addresses, which are the same is in the BIOS.  I even
tried changing the BIOS vars and matching with visual config the same
addrs.  I didn't try all the possible combinations because that would
take about a year.

What I was just gonna do is look at the 2.2.6 sio code and add some printf's
and try to find the problem.  I just wanted to see if anyone else saw this
problem and had already devised a fix.

> assume that DOS/Windows does see the interfaces ? I do belive that

I'd assume that too.  See I erased any trace of m$ off my hard drive within
one hour after opening the box.  But the manual shows screens for using the
modem under Win95.  I guess I could try creating a boot floppy for win95
and testing the ports.  But it's a new laptop, so I figure it SHOULD work.

> toshiba uses their own chipset; but ours (admittedly an early model

Yeah, I know.  I don't like proprietary hardware, but toshiba isn't the
worst.  They use the s3 video card and a supported CS sound chip, so I
can't complain too much.  So far, everything else has worked perfectly
without major modification, at least.

No doc station, unless you consider transferring floppies back and forth  ;)

Also I have a patch for the APM/mixer device to reset the mixer's params
after a resume.  Haven't tested it but do you want me to submit the patch
just in case someone finds it useful?

Thanks for your efforts,
