Sorry to take so long to respond... The USR 56K internal is a PNP modem (I'm using one at this time). You have 2 choices (I've had this one running using both methods). 1. Install the isapnp tools package and get it configured. (the kernel won't see this modem as a serial port if it's jumpered for pnp mode without doing this). I set my modem up this way originally, using com3 (/dev/ttyS2) with a non-standard IRQ. However, I installed so much neat hardware (junk) in this PC that I ran out of interrupts and decided to use method 2. -or- 2. Jumper the modem to disable pnp mode, then set the jumpers for the I/O port and IRQ you want to use. Done this way, the kernel will see it as a normal serial device, and you don't have to mess with the isapnp stuff. I changed my modem from com3 to com2, using IRQ3, and disabled the on-board com2 port in bios. The main problem with this method is you'll lose a serial port that you might be using for something else. (Note: you'll also have to change your setup in Win if you do this) I don't have my original isapnp.conf file, but I can help you get one set up if that's the way you want to go. Like I said, I'm jumping in late here, so you can ignore this post if you're already past this point.
