dont trust that infomration it can be flawed. the kernel just spits out what is standard for those serial ports it does not detect conflicts or even the right IRQ at times (it tells me COM3 is IRQ4 but when infact it is IRQ9 on my machine) Check the BIOS, hardcode the IRQ and I/O address if possible as well as hardcoding the addresses on the modem if possible, and if you have to use setserial to change the parameters of the configuration. i have to do this for my modem on IRQ9. this is an IRQ conflict almost certainly, if not an IRQ conflict probably an I/O address conflict. nate ----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Vice President Network Operations http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336 http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By: http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMP http://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- 7:01am up 89 days, 18:35, 1 user, load average: 1.92, 1.87, 1.80
