Re: how to configure an ISA modem(Rockwell 33.6 DPF )

I have an isa modem too. I managed to make it work: (1) set the jumper right for the port (COM2, or whatever) (2) disable the PnP OS option in you BIOS so that the BIOS, knowing your OS is not capble of PNP, will configure the modem to the right IRQ and etc. (3) use setserial to lk at the /d
