On my 7.02 box I use a diamond supra ISA V90 modem. It is set up for PNP
and it configures itself for IRQ 05 and I/O 0x03e8.
At boot up I noticed that when com 1,2,and 3 are configured, com 3 is set
up for I/O 0x03e8 but with IRQ 04
I placed 'setserial /dev/modem port 0x03e8 irq 05 uart 16550a' in my
/etc/rc.d/rc.local file. Works just fine.
I was thinking about sending out an e-mail about this subject and if one
could change the way linux configures the com ports at boot up, but after
reading 'man setserial' all my questions were answered.
Linux has a pretty step learning curve, but the more I get into it, the
more I like it.
Later all,
Gary
