Then it's screwed, I say... If it's soft-modem, the only available
solution is to write a driver for it. However isn't it rather rare for
PCMCIA modems to be soft-modems? At least the one I have is just a
"PCMCIA Serial Port", the same goes for the one mounted on Compaq
Insight/LightsOut PCI which is in my school's Proliant 1850R.

Good Luck with making it work on Plan9 (At least none of you seem to
have the problem of Plan9 not booting at all ;-) ( Solution for me:
Run Xen/Linux w/ Plan9 in domain 1 ))
