Roger.  I sent him similar messages and they didn't bounce (yet), so he may yet answer.  I'm not sure what f3kt is.

I tweaked yam.c in two places to allow IRQ's up to 99, then compiled and used the new driver.  Doing this:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
    /sbin/modprobe -a yam
    /bin/setserial /dev/ttyS5 uart none
    /usr/sbin/yamcfg yam1 io 0xd880 irq 17 pers 128 txd 150 bitrate 9600 baudrate 9600
    /sbin/ifconfig yam1 mtu 256 hw ax25 WE7U-5
    /sbin/ifconfig yam1 44.24.102.128 netmask 255.255.255.0
    #/sbin/ifconfig yam1 up
---------------------------------------------------------------------

I now get this:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
    # ./yam.up

    /usr/sbin/yamcfg: Version 0.1 (C) 1998 by Jean-Paul ROUBELAT - F6FBB

    Device    : yam1
    iobase    :*d880
    bitrate   :*9600 (bps)
    irq       :*17
    baudrate  :*9600 (bps)
    fulldup   : off
    txdelay   :*150 (ms)
    txtail    : 10  (ms)
    slottime  : 100 (ms)
    persist   :*128

    SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such device or address
---------------------------------------------------------------------

So...  I'm one step closer.  It has accepted IRQ 17 but has trouble with setting IP address and netmask.

Again, I'm able to configure _one_ YAM modem on a laptop just fine, but it's this four-port PCI card in the desktop that I need to get going.  Once I get one YAM running I'll want to configure a second.

Ideas?
