Hello all,

I'm trying to get my pcmcia modem to work, it's a
product info: "Psion Dacom", "Gold Card Global 56K+Fax", "56K+Fax", "V8.25"
manfid: 0x016c, 0x0005
function: 2 (serial)

If i load the 8250_cs module, I get _nothing_ at all. No text in system logs,
nothing. Modem doesn't respond under the old /dev/ttyS1, I've tried all other
/dev/ttySx's to see if it hasn't been remapped. Unfortunately, no.

Is there anything else I can try? I really need my modem back...

It seems that the Config.help entry is wrong aswell.
