I had the same problem. I read about setserial on this list and that
showed me the way!
Check the man pages for how to use setserial. If you have a windows
partition and a PnP modem, check on the windows side to make sure you know
which port and irq your modem has been assigned. Mine used irq 11 for some
reason, even though it was on com3 (/dev/cua2, I believe). So I added a
setserial line to the boot script to set the irq to 11 for the modem.
If you don't have windogs, then you can still use setserial to find out
what irq/port combo the modem is using. The man pages will tell you how.
The isapnp tool was not of particular use to me since RH 5.0 dealt very
well with my PnP modem, a Zoom K56. I did not have to disable PnP, which
was fortunate because the modem card didn't look very much like the drawing
which was supposed to be telling me where the jumper was.
