	I have psm0 set up correctly at irq 12 and port "IO_KBD". I have 
the isa option ALLOW_CONFLICT_IOADDR set, but apparently this conflict is 
fatal to my keyboard. When I boot, everything goes fine until I get the 
login prompt, at which point, the keyboard does not respond. I have a 
Dell Dimension with a PS/2 style mouse and keyboard connection. Can I 
remove the ALLOW_CONFLICT_IOADDR, or is there anything else I can do. I 
am begging for help at this point, my room-mate is going to kill me. She 
is not about to learn command line UNIX to listen to CD's:-)

	Also, unfortunatly I have a DSI Software upgradable modem and I 
am having problems with it too. I defined DSI_SOFT_MODEM for sio driver 
and it detects it, but...where is it getting the algorithm microcode 
from? I looked at the source and there is no obvious pointer to the 
microcode file that needs to be hardcoded in. Any suggestions? Oh, Tip 
says it can't syncronize with the modem.

	I will gladly repay the favor if someone can give me help on 
either of these problems.
