Because I don't know. Like I said in my first post, this is something
we had laying around and there's no identifying information on the card
(other than PN4920).

Sounds right. This card does appear to have that feature.

PC/8r. It's one of the EPCA boards, which means that the driver which
comes in the kernel doesn't apply.

2.0.32

I have a utility from Digi which runs under DOS and probes the card for
memory address and tests it. That utility works fine. The Digi driver
has been compiled into the kernel (no mean feat) and loads on the boot.
The card appears properly in /proc/devices, but does not show up in
/proc/ioports no matter which port I set the card's jumpers for (with
corresponding adjustments to lilo, of course). When I try to run
digiDload (which has been freshly compiled on the system where the card
is living), it gets a seg fault and dumps core.
I've been back and forth via e-mail with a guy from Digi's tech support
for the past couple of weeks -- he's doing his best but he's stumped
too.
Like I said before, the card did work in my workstation as of a week or
two ago (zeos P133, same kernel version, same driver) but I'm trying to
move our dialup pool off of my personal machine, for a host of obvious
reasons.
