[ale] In search of Linux compatible modems. . . .

Why do you need "jumpers" modems? Once you've figured out PNP (`man
isapnp`), it's easy - especially for repeating the process. Starting from
zero knowledge about PNP under Linux, it took me a couple of days to get (1)
PNP SCSI card, (2) PNP Ethernet card and (3) PNP high-speed serial port all
working at the same time in my old (pre-PNP) 486/dx-100.

(Wish it was that easy to configure NT IRQs)

I'm assuming you are talking about a modem per system (as opposed to a
dial-in bank of modems).

I seem to have run into an end of 5.2 compatible modems.  I think I've tried
everywhere; however, you never know until you ask the group. . .

I've gone as far as to find out what Dell is installing on the Linux
installs they are putting together..

The more I try it seems the darker it gets. . .  "I need about 50 ISA based
system Jumpers modem in the short term.  However; over the year I'll need
APROX. 500 Qt. . . .
