Ioannis,
The greatest amount of information that I have found for PCMCIA modems is on
the Phoenix Technologies web site, www.phoenixtech.com.
I haven't got my PCMCIA modem working yet --- of course, I haven't been
playing with it lately.
>From what I understand, you need an "enabler" (or a pointer) in addition to
the slot and sockets services. I have an enabler, and it detects the pccard,
but I haven't got the slot and socked services that will work with the card.
Good Luck

>>Hi,
I was trying to connect my 486 Laptop to the Internet.
Before buying a pcmcia-modem I tried to work it out wth my normal serial
modem. With this I got both Arachne (slow) and Bobcat working properly,
but with the pcmcia-modem the dialers of both browsers won't even start
sending commands to the modem.
This is funny because,
- The modem is nothing special.
- Socket service and pcmcia-driver are cardsoft 3.1, which seems to me
like some sort of standard and the modem is fully recognized in dos.
- I changed the portadress properly (i think) (its com 3 base 3E8 , irq
5).
- A modem testing program called comtest.com is chatting happily with
the modem after being pointed to the above mentioned adress.
Am I missing some important point in configuring Arachne or are
pcmcia-modems somehow special and need special treatment (e.g. cool
scripts: AT&:P).
This is driving me crazy, any help/advice would be aprechiated.
BTW I can live with Arachne working slow on my Laptop, but why is
Insight equally slow? It just has to get some text files. Minuet does
the same job as quick as Netscape on my big NT-machine.<<
