Just to follow up my own post - I finally did get the Sportster PnP,
and yes, it does work fine.  It turns out that it only goes into PnP
mode if you pull out all the IRQ and COM port select jumpers.  If you
use the jumpers, the modem will be hardwired to those settings, just
as you would expect from a non-PnP Sportster.
