    Here's the second one of my problems:

    Debian Potato 2.2
    Pentium 90
    ESS1868 card (shark multimedia)
    Kernel 2.2.17-ide (debian Sun June 25)

    ax25-apps_0.0.4-1.deb
    ax25-tools_0.0.5-2.deb

    booting shows sound, sb, and soundmodem loading.

    logging in as root, lsmod shows soundmodem, hdlvdrv, ax25 (and many
    others) running, but not serial.

    setserial shows ttyS0 uart is 16550, so I set it to NONE.

    Nothing in /proc/sys/net/ax25 at this point, and there's no 'sm ser ptt'
    in /proc/ioports. These come up later?

    # setserial -i sm0 -p
    sethdlc: Version 0.5; (C) 1996-1997 by Thomas Sailer HB9JNX/AE4WA
    driver name: soundmodem
    current parameters: mode <unspec>:<unspec>,<unspec> io 0x0 irq 0 dma 255
    dma2 4294967295 serio 0x0 pario 0x0 midiio 0x0

    Hrm, these weren't set at boot time. I should be able to set them now,
    right?

    # sethdlc -p -i sm0 mode sbc:afsk1200 io 0x220 irq 5 dma 1 dma2 5 serio 0x3f8
    sethdlc: Version 0.5; (C) 1996-1997 by Thomas Sailer HB9JNX/AE4WA
    driver name: soundmodem
    current parameters: mode <unspec>:<unspec>,<unspec> io 0x0 irq 0 dma 255
    dma2 4294967295 serio 0x0 pario 0x0 midiio 0x0
    ioctl (HDLCDRVCTL_SETMODE): Invalid argument
    driver supported modes: Oz@any?.z

    What's going on here? Something is corrupted it would seem, or versions
    are out of whack. I know the soundcard and drivers work ok as I was
    listening to MP3s on it.

    Here's some entries I tacked onto the end of /etc/modules.conf

    alias net-pf-3 ax25
    alias sm0 soundmodem
    alias bc0 baycom
    alias bcp0 baycom_par
    alias block-major-11 off
    alias sb off
    alias sound off
    alias sound-slot-0 sb
    alias sound-service-0-0 sb
    alias sound-service-0-3 sb
    alias char-major-14 sb

    I could try to configure options at the time the driver is loaded.

    # modprobe -r soundmodem
    # modprobe soundmodem mode="sbc:afsk1200" iobase=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=5
    # sethdlc -i sm0 -p
    sethdlc: Version 0.5; (C) 1996-1997 by Thomas Sailer HB9JNX/AE4WA
    driver name: soundmodem
    current parameters: mode <unspec>:<unspec>,<unspec> io 0x220 irq 5 dma 1 dma2 5
    serio 0x0 pario 0x0 midiio 0x0

    Getting somewhere, but the mode still is missing.

    Any help is appreciated. Or even sympathy ;)

    73,
    N1YRK

    p.s. Hamish - Debian does seem to have the best support of any
    distribution, but there's a long way to go. I'll work on getting Debian
    polished.
