Introduction
------------
pcmser.device is a PCMCIA-modem driver for the A1200.  Most
modems should work fine. Some modems will not work and here
is a list of them:

Nokia GSM-card  (I just get a lot of strange ints all the time)
USR 16.8DS      (Seems to be incompatible with the A1200s PCMCIA-port)


Features
--------
7-8 databits
1-2 stopbits
110-115200 BAUD
CTS/RTS handshaking
EOF-mode supported

Not implemented (yet):
CMD_BREAK
xON/xOFF handshake


Installation
------------
Just copy pcmser.device to DEVS: and make sure that you don't have
a program called "remcard" installed.


You can help me!
-----------------
Please mail me if you find bugs or find a modem which doesn't work.
If the modem doesn't work test it with prepcard or "modemtest" which
can be found on aminet.


History
-------
v0.5  97-08-05  First aminet release.

v0.6  97-08-24  Second aminet release.

                The SDCMD_QUERY-code was broken so CD and DSR didn't work.

                Added a little delay in OpenDevice() so that the modem
                can start up and activate its DSR.

                My IObase testingcode was broken so modems which has
                it's first configuration at $2f8 didn't work.

                Removed quickIO for CMD_READ. Either my code was broken
                or some programs can't handle quickIO for CMD_READ
                (ie NComm and Trapdoor). Anyway I'm to lazy to find out :)

v0.7  99-11-26  Third Aminet release (first release by Neil Cafferkey).

                Changed code to allow modems with missing parameters to
                work.

v0.9  00-02-08  Fourth Aminet release.

                Does a soft reset of the modem during device initialisation.

                Now returns IO_ERROR from OpenDevice().

                Deallocates resources if device initialisation fails.

Thanks
------
Thanks to Pontus Fuchs for writing this driver and for letting me release
my changes in a new version, and to the people who sent me bug reports.
