I have an old 33.6 Kbs USR hardware ISA modem in my box. I installed
it as a plug and play device and made sure that my BIOS was set for no
P'n P OS installed. That way the BIOS could assign all ports and IRQs.
There's a procedure for setting up the hardware in the book but the ISA
MODEM was found on reboot.
Cheers,
CR
