-RocketPort ISA and RocketModem II PCI boards are also supported by this
-driver, but must use the external module driver for configuration reasons.  
+RocketPort ISA and RocketModem II PCI boards currently are only supported by
+this driver in module form.
+
+The RocketPort ISA board requires I/O ports to be configured by the DIP
+switches on the board.  See the section "ISA Rocketport Boards" below for
+information on how to set the DIP switches.
+
+You pass the I/O port to the driver using the following module parameters:
+
+board1 :	I/O port for the first ISA board
+board2 :	I/O port for the second ISA board
+board3 :	I/O port for the third ISA board
+board4 :	I/O port for the fourth ISA board
+
+There is a set of utilities and scripts provided with the external driver
+( downloadable from http://www.comtrol.com ) that ease the configuration and
+setup of the ISA cards.
+
+The RocketModem II PCI boards require firmware to be loaded into the card
+before it will function.  The driver has only been tested as a module for this
+board.

+ISA Rocketport Boards
+---------------------
+
+You must assign and configure the I/O addresses used by the ISA Rocketport
+card before installing and using it.  This is done by setting a set of DIP
+switches on the Rocketport board.
+
+
+SETTING THE I/O ADDRESS
+-----------------------
+
+Before installing RocketPort(R) or RocketPort RA boards, you must find
+a range of I/O addresses for it to use. The first RocketPort card
+requires a 68-byte contiguous block of I/O addresses, starting at one
+of the following: 0x100h, 0x140h, 0x180h, 0x200h, 0x240h, 0x280h,
+0x300h, 0x340h, 0x380h.  This I/O address must be reflected in the DIP
+switiches of *all* of the Rocketport cards.
+
+The second, third, and fourth RocketPort cards require a 64-byte
+contiguous block of I/O addresses, starting at one of the following
+I/O addresses: 0x100h, 0x140h, 0x180h, 0x1C0h, 0x200h, 0x240h, 0x280h,
+0x2C0h, 0x300h, 0x340h, 0x380h, 0x3C0h.  The I/O address used by the
+second, third, and fourth Rocketport cards (if present) are set via
+software control.  The DIP switch settings for the I/O address must be
+set to the value of the first Rocketport cards.  
+
+In order to destinguish each of the card from the others, each card
+must have a unique board ID set on the dip switches.  The first
+Rocketport board must be set with the DIP switches corresponding to
+the first board, the second board must be set with the DIP switches
+corresponding to the second board, etc.  IMPORTANT: The board ID is
+the only place where the DIP switch settings should differ between the
+various Rocketport boards in a system.
+
+The I/O address range used by any of the RocketPort cards must not
+conflict with any other cards in the system, including other
+RocketPort cards.  Below, you will find a list of commonly used I/O
+address ranges which may be in use by other devices in your system.
+On a Linux system, "cat /proc/ioports" will also be helpful in
+identifying what I/O addresses are being used by devics on your
+system.
+
+Remember, the FIRST RocketPort uses 68 I/O addresses.  So, if you set it
+for 0x100, it will occupy 0x100 to 0x143.  This would mean that you
+CAN NOT set the second, third or fourth board for address 0x140 since
+the first 4 bytes of that range are used by the first board.  You would
+need to set the second, third, or fourth board to one of the next available
+blocks such as 0x180.
