That is not a recommendation..<g>. Seriously though, just because
something works in windoze is definately not a guarantee its going to
work in linux, simply because of the hardware intensive nature of
lunux. If a piece of hardware is even slightly buggy....linux will
discover it. Good example, though not a related piece of hardware.
Had a cdrom....worked fine throught the install...boot up....and
suddenly...not detectable or workable. Put different cdrom in...works
fine...put original back....not working.... but using that same non
working cdrom in an NT box...works fine.

The irq problem would really only apply with the internal modem since
you woul be using a standard comport....
Hmmm...just had a thought. If it could be a pnp problem...check in
your bios and see if your comports irqs are set to be assigned
automatically by pnp or if you have specific irqs assigned to the
ports.

Since I had assumed you had an internal....point is moot.

Not a problem...hope someone comes up with a solution for you.
