Lee,
Mark reminded me of something. Are you rebooting to Linux (from
Windows) without shutting the machine off? If so, try shutting your
machine off and do a cold boot to Linux. With my PnP modem (Sierra), it
needs a power off to force it to be reset to allow reconfiguration.
Linux may be (is probably?) trying to configure the modem -- if it was
already done in Windows, configuration may not be possible until the
modem is reset by a power off.
Hope this helps,
Randy Kramer
