I just picked up a "Viking PC Card Modem 56k" because I'm in Virginia
on business, and it was the only PCMCIA modem I could find which doesn't
_seem_ to be a winmodem.  (It claims to have mac support as well, which
would seem to support that notion)

However, it locks the machine (an IBM Thinkpad 600 running -current
as of a few weeks ago) on first access, and sometimes on probe.

Is there anything I can do?  I picked it up because I'm tired of
having to boot into windows to dial out... Here's how the card probes,
if it helps:


pcmcia1: CIS version PCMCIA 2.0 or 2.1
pcmcia1: CIS info: Viking, V.90 K56flex, 021, A
pcmcia1: Manufacturer code 0x13, product 0x0
pcmcia1: function 0: serial port, ccr addr 200 mask 17
pcmcia1: function 0, config table entry 32: I/O card; irq mask 86bc; iomask a, iospace 3f8-3ff; audio
pcmcia1: function 0, config table entry 33: I/O card; irq mask 86bc; iomask a, iospace 2f8-2ff; io8 audio
pcmcia1: function 0, config table entry 34: I/O card; irq mask 86bc; iomask a, iospace 3e8-3ef; io8 audio
pcmcia1: function 0, config table entry 35: I/O card; irq mask 86bc; iomask a, iospace 2e8-2ef; io8 audio
pcmcia1: function 0, config table entry 48: I/O card; irq mask 86bc; iomask 3, iospace 0-7; io8 audio
com2 at pcmcia1 function 0 port 0x2f8-0x2ff: serial device
com2: ns8250 or ns16450, no fifo

Thanks for any input or assistance!
