Hi,
If you read the man page as Stuart suggested, you would know that
placing the card into a different slot would not help at all.
"The Davicom interfaces require a grossly high PCI latency timer value to
function properly. This means when a Davicom adapter is present in the
machine, it is given an unfairly high amount of bandwidth on the PCI bus,
unnecessarily taking time away from other devices. Therefore, Davicom
network cards are not recommended for use with OpenBSD. Be careful; some
motherboards have Davicom interfaces built-in."
Also, the modem in your system is a "Winmodem".. so even if you wanted
to use ppp/pppd, you couldn't.

Hi Brynet,
I did read the man page that Stuart suggested and I've, pulled out
the modem and the Davicom NIC. I scavenged a
3Com card out of another box I had around and have headed off the
potential problem of the Davicom card. Thank you
for pointing out what I had missed in my first read through of Stuart's
email. Have a pleasant weekend.
