This is the ONLY internal PCI hardware modem in existence and has been (and remains) the only choice for an internal dial-up modem. None the less uart can manage to connect ppp using tun on boot, but cannot reconnect on demand. sio worked and replacing it with something broken seems a step backwards. >How-To-Repeat: Attempt setting up ppp on demand with the internal hardware 3Com PCI FAX/Modem in any 8.x. >Fix: downgrade to 7.x with sio >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
