I don't recall.  This little gadget does not look large enough to house  a 
speaker, unless a regular modem card for desktop.  No flashing lights when 
I tried to dial. There are four lights, and the power light was on.

Here is the relevant part of dmseg.  I will try dialing with pcmcia next 
and post that later (also info about beeps).  Just got ftpput working 
again to upload this much.

I tried to delete everything not related to serial ports or PCMCIA.
External modem is working in com1.  There is only one serial port visible.
insmod slhc and insmod ppp automated in rc, along with the start line to 
load the pcmcia modules.  There are four modules loaded besides slhc and 
ppp one of which is serial_cs (unused), the others loaded by 'start'.

SHould I load pcnet_cs instead of serial_cs?
I have no pcmcia experience except with BL3 and two other computers.  This 
modem worked in one of them.
