I _have_ to do the following (thinkpad380xd, xircom creditcard modem 56k, potato home-compiled 2.2.13 w. 3.1.8 pcmcia): after computer is running, edit the file /etc/pcmcia/serial.opts and put in the SER_OPTS line irq 3; restart the pcmcia by restarting init.d/pcmcia - this is where the modem is slow if I try to use it, so I do not- go _back_ into the serial.opts file and _remove_ irq 3 to empty "" (just as it was originally), restart the services and, voila, all works fine. This happens when I don't link the ttyS2 (wher the card is detected to the /dev/modem, as it does with the link on. The other poster has suggested removing setserial; is there anything bad that can result from it (i.e. what does setserial do on a laptop)? This is getting to be pretty annoying procedure, now that even the sound is working flawlesly... HTH, damir
