I us the PCMCIA serial port cards under Real DOS Mode under Win 98.   To do 
this you need to add the line 
c:\socketdo\startdio
to the PIF file. To do this follow the instructions on how to change  
keyboard drivers for Real DOS mode
When you then select Real DOS mode you will find that you are told that the  
memory area has been tupled. You must then power down and power up again to 
get  back into Real DOS mode without Windows having already allocated the memory 
 area. The card will then work using the settings in the startdio.ini file.   
Beware that if you have two PCMCIA slots you must put the card back into the  
same slot each time or the initialising program will not be able to find  it.
Sorry if this help is a bit brief but it is a long time since I set mine up  
and I may have missed something
