I finally got my modem to semi-work....thanks to those who posted on isapnp and modifying the .conf file. I'm now have a problem staying online. I stayed online maybe 10 min last night but my connect was a paltry 2kbps when I usually get 4+ kbps. Here's something I'm questioning: [this is from dmesg] Serial driver version 4.27 with MANY_PORTS MULTIPORT SHARE_IRQ enabled ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A ttyS02 at 0x03e8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A ttyS0 is my mouse ttyS2 is my modem My question is this: shouldn't the modem be on ttyS1? Can both mouse and modem share irq 4? In my bootup message, I do get a conflict error and a [FAIL]. I'll have to go back into Linux to copy that message logfile into Windows so I can post it here tho. Thanks in advance.
