Think it definitely does.....I did the setserial /dev/ttyS2 port 0 irq 0
then ran isapnp and it had no problem.

Still reported as a 16550

Did so, now reports 16750. Still can't get kppp to communicate with the
modem though.

Where would I find this?
BTW - Just for kicks, I hooked the modem up to one of the comm ports on the
mb and kppp communicated with the modem fine. Even got on the net although
it was achingly slow. While the kppp log reported a connection of 128K, it
was obvious by transfer rates that I wasn't connected that fast....Must be
reporting the modem-software rate (is that DCE or DTE, always confuses me)
instead of the actual connection speed. Just downloading a web page like
ESPN or even my own webpage which is hosted by my ISP, I wasn't getting
more than 1k/sec. Wondering if there are any ISDN protocols or something
like that needed for Linux.
This setup however is not something I can keep because it requires moving
the serial connector each time I go back and forth from Win98 to Linux. The
PacificCommware serial cardworks perfect in Win98.
