isapnp kernel support

[Moniz Family]

About a year ago, I spent hours trying to configure an isapnp modem 
using isapnptools, only to notice that the card was being recognized at 
boot and what I was doing was changing the configuration to something 
that didn't work. I guess the first thing is to see if the card is 
recognized before using isapnptools.
