Nope. Checked the BIOS and /proc/interrupts, the module uses IRQ5 and this
one is clean. Brian's situation might be different, but I have been using
this modem for more than a year now and it used to "just work". I used to run
pcmcia-* from potato and simply upgraded pcmcia-cs from 3.0.9 (potato) to
3.1.something (potato) and recompiled the modules with the latest
pcmcia-source (3.1.somthing from potato). 

There were no changes in my setup, none whatsoever. The whole thing
doesn't make sense to me. I checked all config files in /etc/pcmcia and
/etc/modutils and didn't find anything dubious. I might be overlooking 
somthing, but I
just don't know what to look for. The card is definetly supported and I
didn't need to pass any parameters in the past. Also, loading the modules seems
to work fine, there are no error msgs. It's just that pppd fails to talk to
/dev/ttyS2, but it used to work fine.

This is driving me crazy. Any further ideas?
