Sure, been doing that from the git-go. It's the BIOS that assigned Com
5, IRQ 10. Dunno why, I have Com 2 disabled; AMI BIOS usually looks
there first. Already done as you suggest. No commo device recognized
as such in the /proc/pci directory table.
Also found more detailed info on my particular MODEM thru MUO. I'll
follow up on it.
Meanwhile I'm RTFM'ing. (BG)
Thanks to all,
CR
