Works for me.
I`ve only changed /etc/rc.boot/0setserial, due to IRQ conflict. Just
uncommmented the automatic configuration line with the tty that match
the one my modem on.
(${SETSERIAL} -b /dev/ttyS2 ${AUTO_IRQ} skip_test autoconfig ${STD_FLAGS}

Hope these helps.

swaping - raid
Hi, To use kernel`s raid0 support for swap partitions, I added these two lines to /etc/fstab /dev/hdc2 noneswapsw 0 0 /dev/hda1 noneswapsw 0 0 But boot messages says these partitions have different priorities (-1 and -2). Any ideas? Thanks in advance. >From mdutils docs: 2 Swapping over RAID The kernel has native support for distributing swap space over several disks. Just add all swap partitions to /etc/fstab and use 'swapon -a' to activate all of them. The kernel uses striping (RAID-0) for them. Here's a sample setup: /dev/sda3 noneswapsw /dev/sdb3 noneswapsw >From swap(2) man: Swap pages are allocated from areas in priority order, highest priority first. For areas with different priori- ties, a higher-priority area is exhausted before using a lower-priority area.
