It's weird that 8.0 didn't recognize it and set it up for you automagically. I have three different modems and 5 different ethernet cards and 8.0 set them all up for me. Makes me suspect yours may be a software modem. If so, it is possible that there are drivers available found thru that same site. > > After rebooting, I saw that the information I changed, had been changed > back, no com3 listing....I typed in all in again. That's why I wanted you to reboot, to change it back. Reboot and go into a terminal and type: cat /proc/pci and look for a communications device. Get the irq and ioport. Are you sure of the com3 thing? If setserial don't work this time with the numbers from /proc/pci, try experimenting with the other com ports. Linux and windows don't always correspond. > > The first couple of times, I'm not sure if I typed an "0" by accident, > but that's what the irq in com3 kept showing.

Then almost another week to get sound. :-) I had to wait until 2.4.x for graphics acceleration (mobo issue). So, this is a learning process. :-) -s
