Mike,

First of all, I hope your modem has jumpers.  If not, I can be of no
help.

I had the same problem with my PnP USR Sportster 33.6.  Everybody told
me that isapnp would work, but it didn't. I even did the confusing
setserial stuff everybody told me to do and nothing worked.

My modem has jumpers, so I just jumpered it to the COM # and IRQ instead
of leaving it jumpered as Plug and Play.  If yours has jumpers, jumper
it to COM1 and the generic IRQ 3.  I don't know how to tell what IRQ to
really use, mine was already set to 3 so I used it and got rid of the
"modem busy" messages immediately. Most likely you can just change the
COM jumper and leave the IRQ jumper alone.

I don't dual boot, so I don't know how this will affect Win95 -- you
might have to remove the modem configuration and let it detect and
reinstall it again as a non-PnP device.

Hope this helps,
Jeremy
