Re: Xircom and Potatoe
I also have a Xircom Realport Ethernet 10/100+modem 56 REM56G-100, adn
although I've managed to work with the modem (I haven't tried eth yet), I
can't put the ISDN connection kit working with serial_cs module. Has anyone
made a sucessful connection with it?
By the way, although my card is a Xircom Realport REM56G-100 it is detected
as a Xircom CEM56!!!
Any hints?
Regards,
Ricardo Diz
