Hi all,

I've got a problem here.
I want to install Mandrake on my thinkpad(P133, 40m ram, 1 gbHD) -no problem 
at all using 7.2........
Here's the but: My gsm serial connection will not work and I realy need it to.
symptoms:
If/when the pcmcia card (cdromdrive) is in the socket I get 'sorry the modem 
is busy' on a query (it's on ttyS1)
On removing the cdrom card I get a lot of gibberish on a query but at least 
the modem is found.
Slowing down the modem to 2400 k reduces the gibberish that's all.

The exact same configuration using Slackware7.2 works flawlessly.
Anybody got any hints how to get this out of the way?

I badly want Mandrake on the laptop as I use it a lot to show off to windoze 
users how linux makes old hardware look goood;)

Harm Bathoorn.
