Ah go on with yerself :)

Did this....results are:
ttyS0: 16550A, 0x03f8, irq 4 (correct)
ttyS1: 16550A, 0x02f8, irq 3 (correct)
ttyS2: 16550A, 0x03e8, irq 5 (correct and not correct. UART type is wrong.
The rest is right but only because when I installed the OS, I ran a
setserial command for it a few days ago. It's obviously not detecting the
card though as it has a 16C750 UART.)

2.2.14....so I guess it's not "the latest".

Will look into it.
Other info....i.e. isapnp results.
The pnpdump gave me this (edited some commented stuff out as well as all
variations except for the one I used). I also removed the # in the lines
specifying the settings desired.:

Now, when I tried to run this with /sbin/isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf I got the
following errors:
[root@localhost /]# /sbin/isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf
Board 1 has Identity 4c 97 31 21 50 10 25 77 40: PCW2510 Serial No

/etc/isapnp.conf:48 -- Fatal - resource conflict allocating 8 bytes of IO
at 3E8 (see /proc/ioports)
/etc/isapnp.conf:48 -- Fatal - IO range check attempted while device activated
/etc/isapnp.conf:48 -- Fatal - Error occurred executing request '<IORESCHECK> '
--- further action aborted
Just wondering.....Is it possible that having previously done a "setserial
/dev/ttyS2 irq 5 port 0x03e8" is causeing a conflic when isapnp tries to
set it?
Slan,
