8	One booby-trap I've run into is that, on my machine at least, a PCI
9	modem must be ttyS4 or higher. I find that I MUST set the following
10	in "make menuconfig"...
11
12	Device Drivers --->
13	Character devices --->
14	Serial drivers --->
15	(5) Maximum number of 8250/16550 serial ports
16
17	The PCI modem can't use the first 4 ports (DOS COM1: through COM4:),
18	so I have to set the driver to allocate at least 5 serial port numbers.
