Did you setserial the com port, irq, and ioports? If so, then you just have
to keep trying the different configurations until you hit upon the right
combo. It can take time. BTW, if your sound card is also isa, you can use
sndconfig to set up your isapnp.conf, and then just setserial the port and
irq it sets up for the modem in that file. (Easier).
