I'm running 2.1.6 (Yes, soon I will upgrade to 2.2.x) with the
2.1.5 compatible version of PAO on a Toshiba laptop. I've managed
to lay my hands on a 3Com Etherlink III plus 33.6 Modem pcmcia
card.
Reading the PAO pages I see that dual function cards aren't supported
yet in general, but for one or two dual function cards one of the
functions can be made to work. Typically this seems to mean being
able to use the sio function of a modem+something. I've had no
luck so far with this card though.
I'm wondering:
o Has anyone using more current software had any success with
this card using either function?
o Is multi-function card support in the works?
o Are there plans for supporting this particular card? Maybe
there is ongoing development I could help out with?
Thanks for any ideas,
