Hi Bastiaan, I know what you are going thru!
When I got a notebook several years ago, a PCMCIA modem came with it, and although the instruction pamphlet said it work with DOS if the Slot & Socket Services provided by the notebook manufacturer was installed, The SSS was nowhere to be found. The notebook support site would not talk DOS, only Windoze. (They have since gone out of business.) I think that I downloaded almost every PCMCIA software on the web, almost got one to work, then the notebook went belly-up. Placement of the driver and SSS in Config.sys and/or Autoexec.bat is critical. PCMCIA slots do not have an address, but have to be referred to using the driver/sss software which would direct COM2 modem traffic to Slot0 (or whatever). CardSoft seems to be one of the drivers/sss that *should* work. Phoenix <www.phoenixtech.com>? has a good discussion of PCMCIA cards and SSS. 3Com has "enabler" software. Intel has some/one that will work with Intel chips. I can send you a list of all the PCMCIA software that I have if you would like. I recently got a "real" PCMCIA modem from Dalco, "just in case," (Zonet ZFM5600.) Fortunately it has an Intel chip set. Some versions of this model do not have an Intel chipset. Unfortunately, it does not come with SSS and once again refers to the manufacturer of the computer to provide it.
