Hrm. I was afraid you'd say that. This deviates to slightly-off-topic I think....but it does apply to my linux problem. I just opened my case and looked closely at my modem card. It would appear that on the card is a chart That looks like this: COMM IRQ JP1 Com1 IRQ4 5,7,11 Com2 IRQ3 1,7,9 Com3 IRQ4 3,5,11 Com4 IRQ3 1,3,9 It also says PnP 9 thru 27 shorted I assume the first tells me how to set jumpers for each of those Com ports/IRQs. The latter doesn't mean anything to me. Is this helpful at all to what I'm trying to do? Right now It's on 1,3, and 9, which is Com4. I read in the RH Solutions database that Linux has problems or requires extra setup steps for modems on Com3 and Com4. Should I attempt to just change this to Com2 and see what happens then? -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
