Hey James,
From your response, it appears you have more than one Serial port. Can you
spare one for an external? If not, there are SOME PCI internals that are NOT
winmodems. Check one of the hardware sights from the Mandrake homepage. I
believe that Actiontec makes a true hardware PCI, but someone else on the list
please correct me if I err.
HTH,
Mike
