3Com USRobotics 5699B 56k fax modem install

[JJB]

On 4.8 the dmesg
pci0: <unknown card> (vendor=0x12b9, dev=0x1007) at 10.0 irq 2

Means one of 2 things.

your modem is what is known as an winmodem. A cheap modem mfg just
for ms/windblows market. Which FBSD does not work with. If this PCI
modem card works under windows with special driver loaded then it's
am winmodem. You can look at the modem circuit board and if it has
lucent chips, it's an winmodem. You are SOL. Replace it with an PCI
modom card that has onboard controller and DSP functions.  Or use
any external serial modem.

Your PC has legacy bios which does not ID PCI modem cards correctly.
In this case add  device pun  to your kernel source and recompile
it.
This device has additional code to probe your system's bio's using
different methods which in most cases results on your PCI modem card
being found. Also works for unknown Nic cards on PC with legacy
bio's.

Hello,

    I've been trying to get this faxmodem setup so I can use
hylafax, but with
marginal luck. There is lots of documentation for adding support for
ISA PNP
modems, but I can't find anything for PCI PNP modems. I don't know
what to do
from here.

Here is some output - any recommendations greatly appreciated:

dmesg:

    device   = 'ERL3263A-0 USR 56k Internal DF GWPCI PC99'
    class    = simple comms

pnpinfo is not relevant with this card because this card is PCI, not
ISA.

Thanks!
Alex
