I have a Toshiba T2450CT laptop running NetBSD-1.4.2.  The laptop  
has a Toshiba T144PF4 Data/Fax Modem; a PCMCIA modem with two rj11  
jacks built-in.  The modem works under DOS, but NetBSD will not  
even 'see' the card to assign com1.  Whether I boot with the card  
installed, or insert after startup, there is no message.  I have  
tried using a xircom combo card in the same slot, and it is  
recognized.  I assume this means the Toshiba modem does not  
generate an interrupt for the system to see.  Is there any way to  
force NetBSD to poll that slot on startup?

If the modem is a no-go, what other data/fax modems do folks use  
that support class 2 fax and maybe even have a 16550 fifo?
