Pretty standard issue sort of hardware in its day. (I know somebody is going to suggest I just get a new modem so heres the answer to that: spending money on this particular system wouldn't make sense. It's a 486, everything old and outdated.) None of the releases after 2.1.6 can find the Supra. I've tried all the available irq's, ports, every possible setting. I've even tried putting the thing in different slots on the MB. dmesg says "sioX: not found" for X=1,2,3. Haven't tried 0. I am running 2.1.6 now, and it works fine, but would like to try the new SNAPS. Does anybody have any idea why this happens? Is it buggy hardware? Or might there possibly be something in the newer kernels? Any help greatly appreciated. -cp postel@metro.net
