For what it's worth, I have an old Compaq Contura Aero -- a 486sx/25 laptop computer circa 1994. Neither the onboard serial ports, nor any PCMCIA modems, would work until I put -stable with the June 16th sio.c on it. Works great now. I don't know what kind of mutant UARTs Compaq put in the thing, but it's not specific to Iwill motherboards at any rate...
