Can you send me details abou it?

Please see
http://www.scyld.com/pipermail/vortex/2000-September/000600.html
for the cause, and try the driver ("version 2217") at
http://www2.neweb.ne.jp/wd/fbm/3c556/
and tell me if it works on your base station (it works on both Hitachi Flora
220CX and Gateway Solo 3150). And please don't forget to read *carefully*
the instructions attached to this driver... :-)

The 3c555 usually needs PnP to be turned off, but since the driver you tried
has found the IRQ and I/O of your adapter, the driver above *might* also
work even with PnP on. Please give it a try.
