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). -- Alex ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Excellent.. now give users the option to cut your hair you hippie! -- Anonymous Coward To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
