>Description:
This Davicom modem I found in my stack of ISA cards didn't always attach
properly until I added a proper ISA PnP attachment. This seems to work
with the jumper on the card set to Win95 rather than Jumperless.
>How-To-Repeat:
Find another one of this obsolete 33.6k modem and try using it.
>Fix:
Add a line like so:
devlogic com DAV0336 0 Davicom 33.6 PnP
to src/sys/dev/isapnp/isapnpdevs, and regenerate the .c and .h file.
Recompile kernel, and see this modem attach as a comX at isapnp0.
I did need to futz with the com port setings in my OptiPlex GX1p's BIOS
so stuff didn't conflict, but that may just be a buggy PnP implementation.
