When I got unresolved symbols on insmod of the ptserial module it was bec=
ause the ptserial was not compatible with the kernel I am running.  (2.4.=
3-20mdk).  Previously solution was to find a suitable ptserial for my ker=
nel.  In the instance of the 0.8.6 driver the supplied ptserial selected =
by confugure was fine. =20

I did make one small change to ptserial.c.  The default country code is z=
ero.  I changed it to 6 (for the UK).  I did not have any problems to cau=
se me to do this I just did it because I thought 'I might as well while I=
 am compiling this'.

I don't know but I suspect you are using Kernel >=3D2.4.7 which is where =
the problem is coming from IMHO.

BTW where is your web site?

HTH

Anything else you think I can answer please mail me
