I've tried everything on it already, tried different drivers out of desperation....utter desperation. BTW, I borrowed a Hayes Accura Faxmodem from my brother and got it to work a couple of times. Now, when kudzu tries to probe COM2, my box reboots! I tried turning it on once I entered linuxconf and the system hangs once I start a ppp session. Everything freezes. NOW, I removed the modem and use COM2 for my mouse, kudzu can't find the mouse. I have Windoze on a slave drive and it also can't find the mouse now. It also reboots once it probes COM2 on startup. Other times it says: Windows Protection Error...restart your system. What the hell is that? Everything started when I used the Accura on a ppp session. COM2 is busted and COM1 is starting to go on a fritz! I just bought this ASUS last year!
