Never Ending Quest for Working PCMCIA Serial Port Dell Enspiron

[Martin McCormick <martin@dc.cis.okstate.edu>]

	The laptop in question has a built-in dialup modem which
doesn't even show up as a serial port in Linux. In the P.C.'s
setup screen, it doesn't show up there so I can't remove or move
it out of the way, but a PCMCIA card installed containing a real
truly RS-232 port tries to come in as ttyS0. That internal modem
is probably the reason why /dev/ttyS0 acts as it does. One can
not send from it, but one can receive.

	Is there a way to fake out the system to make it assign
/dev/ttyS1 to the PCMCIA port? That would probably make it work.

	Thanks for any ideas.
