External, on Com2.
I have no free slots after replacing onboard USB and sound.

Is there a way to check the serial port in linux? It works, just not very consistently or fast.

disabling onboard sound in the BIOS -will- disable it... (a way to
truely verify if its disabled is to boot/install windows and use
windows 'new hardware' probe.... if it doenst find the onboard sound
chip then its safe to say its disabled... if it finds it but has the
little yellow exclimation point over it saying the device has a
problem then its not completely disabled)

I don't want to put Windows on this computer. I thought I read that BL ignores BIOS settings. I will attempt to identify onboard sound and get it working so as to free up a PCI slot for PCI modem.

See 'previous in thread' for the problem - slow connection which also freezes up.
