pcmcia and configuring ports?

[Jonathan Chetwynd]

Hi iam trying to move from Casldera to Mandrake.
in order to use the latest GIMP.

Caldera  2.2 works fine with pcmcia 3com modem, 
Mandrake 7.0 does not.

the Caldera uses /dev/ttyS2, however Mandrake 7.0 reports 'modem busy' on
that device.

also:

Mandrake 7.0

dmesg reports:
tty02 at 0x13f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A

Caldera 2.2

dmesg reports:
tty02 at 0x03e8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A

What should I do?
