Hmm..now i'm confused, here are the options I can choose,

"./configure
Options: --with-hal=hal
Select one of: pct789, cm8738, i810intel, i810sis, via686a"

I thought it was a i810sis first but then I opened the box and the only 
chip I found that matched one of these was HSP56 cm8738/PCI-SX. I'm reading 
the text file and it has some sections of the FAQ I already have,

"7.3. Other options while loading the modules. The other options that you 
may want to use while loading ptserial.o are:
For all HALs :
- irq: Force to using irq #.
- iobase: Force to use iobase for modem detection.

Only for I810/VAI686A HALs:
- iobase1: Force the iobase 1
NOTE: if you want to set iobase or iobase1, you should use 
irq/iobase/iobase1 at same time.

Only for CM8738/PCT789 HALs:
- vendor_id: vendor ID of the modem
- device_id: device ID of the modem."

and CM8738 is also listed. I know that CM8738 has to do with audio but 
reading the previous FAQ,

"You need an Elite/SiS mainboard with the CM8738 Audio/Modem ASIC and PCtel 
Codec/DAA daughterboard.  The modem daughterboard has a RJ-11 phone jack to 
hook up to a phone line."

that Audio/Modem confuses me, the other chip close to the ones listed is 
PCT303L.

Paul
