The only PCI modem one I have found which works flawlessly
is the one I am using now.

ActionTech PCI Master #pci56012-02

It has no on-board jumpers and does not get a comm port #
assigned.

However, by running pmdmcfg.exe at the DOS prompt, the modem
is detected
and we are given the base port address and IRQ

Found PCI V.90 Data/Fax Modem:
---------------------------------
I/O Port: B800
IRQ #:    4

(pmdmcfg.exe was included with the modem when I purchased it
on ebay)

I then use these settings in lsppp.cfg

/M:at&fs7=90s11=50
/x
/i:4
/b:bx800
/d:330-984-4005
/B:115200
/V:60

These are my settings in arachne.cfg

Connection lsppp.exe /?>NUL
Hangup ren lsppp.cfg lsppp.cfb | lsppp.exe /u | ren
lsppp.cfb lsppp.cfg
Dialer lh lsppp.exe>ppp.log
UseTerminal No

Everything works like a charm with those settings.

Since other Arachne users will most likely find this info of
use....
sending this reply to both mailing lists as-well.
