Thanks for your responses, chaps! I'll answer the simple bit first.
Any plan that requires the use of Doze isn't going to work here. We
don't allow Doze ware on the premises and I've certainly never used it.
Why? Well - just look at what Clarence wrote with great wisdom!
Anyway - to the facts: In Linux, looking at /proc/pci yields the
following information:
Bus 0, Device 8, function 0
Serial controller: Rockwell Int'l HCF 56k V90 Faxmodem Rev. 1
IRQ 11
Master capable. Latency=32.
Non-prefetchable 32-bit memory at 0xe1000000 [0xe100ffff]
As to my claims that there was an I/O address of 6100H, well - it
doesn't say that any more. I have a nasty suspicion that I read part of
a line nearby that reported the PCI sound card.
Gregor asked whether it worked in Linux. Well - last time I tried to
configure the PPP dial-up, it said that it found a modem but it was
busy. Yesterday I tried again and it claimed that it couldn't find any
modems. PPP Dial-up worked nicely with the ISA 33.6k modem, by the way,
so I think that the Linux bit works properly, given a decent modem.
Doesn't look too promising, does it? Thanks in advance for any
further guidance!
All the best,
Gerald.
