Hi everyone!
Thank you for the quick reply. I ran pnpdump and then isapnp and I got the
message "Board 1 has identity..................... {BocaModem }:
Port 0x100; IRQ5 --- Enabled OK"
However, I am not able to access the modem, using wvdialconf or kppp or any
other software. What could be wrong? Is there any serial port setting to be
done?
Thanking you,
Best regards,
Amit
