ISA plug and play is an "experimental" option in 2.6. I don't know if the Debian kernels set it. Check the kernel config file; is CONFIG_ISAPNP set? If not, you'll have to build your own kernel. Or, are your ordinary serial ports recognised? If not, try "modprobe serial_core". -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons Get my GPG key here: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21C61F7F
