I'm using both COM ports already and my board only has 1 ISA slot, and I have a SBAwe 64 on it. Ok, I'm willing to do the setserial and symlink combo thingies.... But PCI is the only thing I have left...really. I have a 3Com winmodem and I hate it. I've even tried the PCTel driver, in desperation...no luck. I haven't tried USB externals, how do those work in MDK?
