I have a Zoom that is PNP that works fine in windows. Linux will not pick it
up with play and play, I will get modem busy as you did. If I disable the plug
and play on the modem card it will work in Linux Mandrake. Mandrake boots up
and sees it as a generic modem and it works fine. Also remember when
selecting port option in PPP settings that if you were on port 2 in windows it
would be either cua 3 or ttys3 in Linux.. Most cards work with CRTS and I
would go back to using that and adjust your ports, more likely your problem.
