Hi, I'm resending this message (a third time) because I have never seen it show up on the mailing list. If anybody else has been seeing these messages, please send me an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and I won't send it anymore. Thanks! Now, here's the original message... In order to get my pci modem (not a winmodem) to work under Linux, I found some information on the web to add the following to the startup files: > exec setserial /dev/ttyS4 irq 9 port 0xb000 ^fourport ^auto_irq skip_test > autoconfig spd_vhi This works great, now I can use my modem. The only problem is, when I either add this to a startup file, or enter the setserial command (without the exec) straight from the command line, it causes my modem to dial up right there and then. I can then disconnect and use the modem like normal, until I have to reboot ofcourse. Does anybody have any idea why this command is causing my modem to dial? Thanks!!! -- Best regards, Kevin
