I successfully compiled/installed your pccard-test-960328 patches
on a freebsd-current (also 960328) and can report the following
problems and successes. (Help/advice with the fax/modem card gratefully
accepted.)

Laptop:  TI5000
PCCARDS: 3Com Etherlink III 3C589C
	 Megahertz XJ1144

pccard.conf: sample file used w/o modification

Results:

The pccards are not recognized with the default pccard_mem address
of 0xd0000. Cards are recognized with address 0xd8000.

The 3Com Ethernet card works correctly, but slowly. The nep0 interface
comes and goes as the card is inserted/removed. Interaction with apm
is perfect. All is good.  Unfortunately, the interface is much slower
that with the old `zp0' interface. Pings to a local SparcStation II
over a 2-device UTP network took about 1msec with the `zp0' driver.
Pings with the `nep0' driver take about 5-6msec. 

The fax/modem does not work. The messages on the console and in
/var/log/pccardd.log all indicate that it is recognized correctly
(as a Megahertz X-Jack fax/modem). The `sio2: type 16550A' and
`sio2: unload/gone' (or similar) occur as expected.

Without the card installed, I can't tip to `cuaa2c'. With the card
installed, the tip succeeds & characters echo. That is until I 
enter `AT', at which point 6 or 8 characters of garbage appear on the
screen & I have to power cycle.

Also, the system hangs if I am in tip & remove the card.

Comments/advice gratefully accepted.
