I have the Xircom working as a modem only. It's generally not supported.
Multi-cards only currently will work as one or the other, and that's
not your choice as to which will work. Also, the PAO distribution
specifically removed cod that would allow a Xircom to work because
of Xircom's policy on freeware (I don't know anything about this). I
guess it's kind of like GNU's boycott of Apple in the 80's and early
90's.
That said, Doug's right, enable PCCARD support. Then, here's my config
for the Xircom.
card "Xircom" "CreditCard Ethernet+Modem 33."
config 0x2 "sio1" 10
insert echo Xircom CreditCard Modem inserted
remove echo Xircom CreditCard Modem removed
You'll need to change the first line to match your card (ie probably
28 instead of 33). And change sio1 to whatever serial port you
want it to use. 10 is the IRQ to use. I never got it to work at
any other free IRQ.
