No, it's not PnP.  It's got jumpers that switch it from PnP to normal,
that I presumably have in the right position (that guy I mentioned
confirmed this).  I set sio3 for irq 3, recompiled and rebooted and bsd
still isn't finding sio3.  Nothing is on com2 (that's where i used my
external modem).  Should I disable com2 in the kernel?  Assuming that
doesn't work, what should I look at next?

Thanks.
