[newbie] Need Help Using isapnp, pnpdump, and isapnp.conf to configure my PNP internal modem

[Joe Patton]

Hi,   I am trying to get a Boca Tidal Wave 56k Internal ISA PNP modem to work under Mandrake Linux.  Has anyone out there successfully configured an internal plug-and-play modem using the isapnp utility?  I used the pnpdump program to generate a isapnp.conf configuration file and ran isapnp using that configuration file.  No matter what configuration options I set in the configuration file, the isapnp program fails because of a conflicting base I\O address.  Can someone tell me if there is a program in Linux that can show me system info such as IRQ and I/O address usage?  I think that the values in my isapnp.conf file conflict with my serial ports, but I don't know how to disable a serial port in Linux so that my modem can use the resources.   Joe Patton
