Marlin,
I seem to have some differences maybe some one can tell us how to get them
working:
KDE Information: PCI
00:0b Serial Controller: US Robotics/3com 56K Fax Modem Model 5610 (Rev
01)(Prog-if 02[16550])
Subsystem: US Robitics/3com unknown device 00d3
Flags: medium devsel, IR019
I/O Ports at d000 size 8
Capabilities: dc power management version 2.
& under I/O Ports:
d000-d007 US Robotics/3 com 56k Faxmodem 5610
d000-d007 serian (auto)
I dont know what it all means but I didnt see a com port unless d000 is one.
At least the system knows its there. What do I do now?
Regards;
Hoyt
