No, we don't. PCMCIA seems to be a very loose spec so the matchup
between hardware and drivers is very questionable at best. If the modem and
driver don't behave as a real UART to clients such as Kermit then it's not
behaving properly. There is nothing much I can do about it, lacking that
particular PCMCIA card, the laptop in which it is inserted, and the drivers
for it. Kermit does work fine on at least one IBM Thinkpad because I setup
that machine for a colleague. However, I have no laptop myself so please
don't ask me questions about PCMCIA and its drivers.
