I'm working with a program that's DOS based with foxpro I'm locked into this obsolete nightmare.With ISA slots I was using Modem and Bocca boards with jumpers to set the com.portand IRQ address. Now the next generation CPU's no longer support ISA just PSI slots, because I dont have windows I cant set the cards using software or can I?
Please dont state the obvious, I'm in a position where I Don't have power to get Windows, or get Foxpro under windows or choose a different CPU I really need help on this one.

wait-wait-wait... CPU isn't related to ISA/PCI etc. This is chipset features. Yes, most of modern motherboards don't have ISA slots, but some of them have 1 or 2. PCI modems won't work under simple DOS. You can use external modem, attached to COM port. Or you can try to use Unix/Linux freeware versions - may be there is some support for PCI modems in them.
