PCI cards are called "PnP" only because of strange freak of
nature^H^H^H^H^H^Hmarketing. They have nothing to do with ISA PnP and
everything with PCI bus and its resource allocation. So even though I
never have seen that particular device it should be visible on PCI, and it
should be possible to configure serial driver for it, unless, of course
it's on PCI *and* it is winmodem (what makes even less sense than winmodem
on ISA bus).
