Newbies, I have an ISA internal 3com U.S.Robotics 56K faxmodem that I know is not a winmodem, and I have had a problem with Linux Mandrake's isapnp not assigning IRQs to it [error message re what to do about ...(series of IRQ #s.)..]. It is PnP, and on COM2 in Windon't. I set up the symbolic link in LM. I can get a dialtone with minicom (I assume because of the link) but it's basically useless. How do I straighten out the IRQs assignments for PnP devices? I'm wondering if this person's problem is similar [see below].

Typically a winmodem reports busy rather than being "nonexistent." Maybe you need to check the port you think it's using. Cheers --- Larry >>
