One booby-trap I've run into is that, on my machine at least, a PCI modem must be ttyS4 or higher. I find that I *MUST* set the following in "make menuconfig"... Device Drivers ---> Character devices ---> Serial drivers ---> (5) Maximum number of 8250/16550 serial ports The PCI modem can't use the first 4 ports (DOS COM1: through COM4:), so I have to set the driver to allocate at least 5 serial port numbers. -- Walter Dnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> In linux /sbin/init is Job #1 My musings on technology and security at http://tech_sec.blog.ca -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
