    Yup, just tested that by dialing somewhere. Setserial reports fine in any
case. 

[msoulier@lupus /proc]$ cat ioports
[snip]
02f8-02ff : serial(set)
[snip]

    And yes, there it is. Thanks for the pointers. 

    I guess setserial is used to set all these values for serial ports. Kind
of annoying that there isn't one program where you can handle your resources,
but I guess that's what distros like Mandrake are about with DrakConf and
such. Trying to give you a winblows-like control-panel. 
    As long as I know where to get the information, and set it, I'm good. The
proc filesystem is such a cool idea...
