If you modem uses *jumpers* to set its IRQ, there is no software that will
do that for you. I *think* what you actually want to do is change the
setting of /dev/ttyS2 so it points to IRQ5 instead of the default IRQ4.
The only program I know that will change /dev/ttyS* IRQs is setserial. The
line should read something like this:
setserial /dev/ttyS2 irq 5
If that is the line that is generating the "device or resource busy"
message, then see what setserial does when it probes the device ("setserial
/dev/ttyS2+ without any arguments).
One last thing ... I'm not acquainted with Red Hat 5.9 (didn't know RH ever
released a 5.9, actually), so I wonder if you have serial-port support
enabled in the kernel. Make sure dmesg reports the kernel detecting serial
ports in th computer.
