<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (pardon me, I misplaced your real name),
How did you configure your voicemodem? Since yours and mine are very
similar, I would expect your solution to work for me too. My modem is a 3Com
/ USRobotics, 56K, ISA (I forgot it was ISA, previously I wrongly stated it
was PCI), PnP, and a faxmodem. "PnP aware o/s" was disabled in CMOS prior to
any LinuxMandrake installs. Linux Mandrake's "isapnp" misdetects the modem's
interrupt (the modem operates on COM2 in Windoze (no change in modem
operating status or operation when going from motherboard CMOS PnP ON to
OFF)). I went into the isapnp file to verify just what the errors related
to, and I confirmed the boot errors I was getting were from this modem
interrupt problem. Even under these conditions, using minitel I sent an ATDT
to the modem and got a dial tone.
I've never had need to change a PnP device over. If the card has to "be
configured" when used as non-PnP then this is my problem, and it certainly
makes sense in 20/20 hindsight. I also wondered if I needed to "setserial"
in Linux. My new install of LinuxMandrake7.0 upgraded to 7.1 without
incident. I skipped any modem configuration, and at this point I have not
yet even put in the symbolic link for the modem. I'm at a clean starting
place to do this right.
By-the-way, webmaster, what are CNR and AMR slots? I used to be a
computer tech, but I'm getting our of date.

Correct, PCI slots are usually white and the components mounted on the PCI
board face away from the CPU. ISA slots are usually black and the
components on the ISA PCB board are mounted facing the direction of the CPU.
AGP is brown and usually closest to the CPU (not to be confused with the
brown CNR and AMR slots which are smaller than the PCI slots).

PCI slots are the small card slots in your pc, as opposed to the older,
bigger ISA slots.
