          Thanks to a kick start from Sam Detweiler of IBM, The SIO2K
          drivers now have support for PCI devices.

          The problem is, only known PCI boards are currently supported. 
          PCI devices have a signature that device drivers must look for. 
          The current SIO2K code must specifically identify the PCI device
          prior to using it.  As I gain information, I hope to loosen
          things so devices can be used without the driver having prior
          knowledge of the device.

          If you have a PCI modem or serial card that you wish supported,
          then I need the identification information from the manufacture.

          The supported PCI boards are:

               The Blue Heat card from CTI (www.connecttech.com).  It is a
               very nice card in 2, 4, and 8 port versions, sporting a
               16654 device with 64 byte fifos and a maximum bit rate of
               1382.4 kbps.

               The GTEK (www.gtek.com) JetPort card(s).  Again a very nice
               card in 2, 16 and 32 port versions.  Only the 2 port version
               of the card has been tested.  This card also uses the 16554
               and bit rate extensions.  Currently, 460.8 kbps is the
               maximum that SIO2K supports for this board.
