Ed,
Yes I had tried all 3 things you said below.
Thanks for you suggestions, my modem now works thanks to pezcal who saw my
usb support IRQ was in conflict with my modem. He suggested I disable the
USB via drakconf, drakxservices then restart. It WORKED. (See other replys
under this same subject)
Thanks,
Rich

Subject: RE: [newbie] PCI Hardware Modem Says "Sorry, the modem is
busy."
just a thought,
have you tried to adjust the setserial command to point to "/dev/modem"
instead
of "/dev/ttyS2"? and set the modem in linuxconfig > "initial system
services"
to point to ttyS2, and turned offf all PNP on the BOIS? including PNP aware
OOS
to NO?
