I don't know anything about modems or setup or anything like that but I _do_
know that I've received that error before and it was because my irq for com2
was wrong. so you can check the settings of com2 as
setserial -a /dev/ttyS1
and read the info, and you can change the irq as
setserial /dev/ttyS1 irq <whatever>
so I did this trying to get my palmpilot to be recognized by my thinkpad. it's
an unrelated problem but by setting my com2 port to irq 3 the modem stopped
working and I got the above error. when I reset it to irq 5 (which is what
is set when the module loads. my modem is a card and the pcmcia features load
as a module) everything worked.
so there is a way to get setserial to choose a non-conflicting irq automatic
which I don't remember but is in the manpages.
