Try disabling the MWave software under Windows. I had the same problems you
have with ANY serial PC Card until I disabled the MWave stuff completely
(the BIOS will bark at you occasionally but you can ignore those
messages). After disabling MWave any serial PC Card so far has worked just
fine. I'm currently using a Psion Goldcard with ISDN upgrade which is just
perfect: for your system it's always a modem no matter of whether you are
using it with the ISDN "dongle" or the analog adapter.
