Assuming one just wanted a modem to work & didn't care about the long
term consequences of maintaining a locally hacked sio.c, what would
the steps be towards getting pccard serial devices to work?  

Would it be sufficient to #include a pre-newbus version of sio.c #if
NCARD>0 (like what Peter did for if_ed) & beating the result into
submission?  Or have enough things changed in the last 6 months to
make this non-viable?  Even a gross hack like this might be more
palatable than going w/o a modem..

Thanks,

Drew

PS: Its rather ironic that I'm mainly an alpha person & I was very happy
to see the isa devices getting new-busified.  Have a working floppy on 
my alpha at home is really nice ;-)
