As a PC Card, it reports itself as a NIC, but it can actually work as a serial modem. On Linux it's configured via /etc/pcmcia/config: manfid 0x0192, 0x0710 cis "cis/SW_8xx_SER.dat" bind "serial _cs" This is to override the PC Card's CIS with an external file "SW_8xx_SER.dat", so the card can be identified as a modem. In Solaris we have the driver pcser for PC Card modems but we don't have the mechanism to override the CIS (Card Information Structure) in the card's firmware. So when I tried it, the card showed up in Solaris as a network interface with no driver. However if there's an updated firmware that identifies itself as a modem, then we are very likely to make it work. Vincent.
