I am definitely making progress on this. I am trying to get my PnP m=
odem
to work under 3.1-Release. O.K. we have recompiled the kernel with
"controller pnp0" the pnp id is in sio.c ...and the modem does actually s=
how
up in my dmesg when I boot up. (Dance of joy!)
Now the modem shows up at sio4. I technically only have 2 serial po=
rts
(which MS-Windows would call com 1-4), and I do not have any funky multi-=
port
cards or anything. =
Now the modem takes up the irq and the memory access address of sio1=
(irq 3, starting at 02f8) I have sio1 disabled via /boot/kernel.config,
so I don't even probe for it. (it is not disabled in the kernel itself -=
but
I could do that if it would help.) =
My question is, can I just "./MAKEDEV cua5" and leave the modem at s=
io4,
or do I have to do something more complicated to get the modem to show up=
on
another, more nominal, serial port? And if I have to mess with the setti=
ngs
on the pnp modem, how would I go about that? (It would have to be a soft=
ware
solution, as there is no way to change the serial port settings on the
hardware device itself.)
I am hoping that I can just make new device entries, but I am a Un*x=
newbie and am timid about running super user functions, as I might screw
things up. I am a good little do-bee and read my docs, but I am unsure a=
bout
this one. Please guide. =

All life is a dance; =
I just wish I wasn't so clumsy.
