Re: BocaModem PnP
Hi,
no, you didn't get the subject: it is a Plug and Play modem and of course
doesn't show up during the initial kernel scan of HW. The point is, after
actiating it with isapnp, how to make the kernel aware of the added serial
?
Till now I had every faith in pnpdump & isapnp, but I start to doubt them,
how much can I trust that they are OK, up to standart etc.
