Its Debian Sarge, with 2.6.10 (compiled my own)
I'll try finding it with setserial this evening (left the house
without the card - dur!) however, just from flicking through the
/dev/ttyS? with KPPP didn't come up with anything, so I doubt this
will either :'(
dmesg doesn't report anything when the card is installed, not even
something that doesn't make sense.
Thanks again
