Re: [newbie] Modem Problems

[Chris Reeder]

After reinstalling 6.1 the other day, I had the same problem--  modem busy.  . 
Cause:  I had forgotten to add 
    #setserial /dev/modem uart 16550A port 0x6200 irq 11  
as directed in my modem's user manual (Actiontec 56k PCI call waiting modem)
to my         /etc/rc.d/rc.local    
file.  I don't know what the numbers mean except the irq, but they might be
different for you.
