I did as you said and got ------------------------------ 0: 409269 XT-PIC timer 1: 59 XT-PIC i8042 2: 0 XT-PIC cascade 5: 813 XT-PIC CS4231 7: 0 XT-PIC parport0 8: 1 XT-PIC rtc 9: 1073 XT-PIC acpi, uhci_hcd:usb1, eth0 10: 1 XT-PIC MPU401 UART 11: 5 XT-PIC bttv0, bt878 12: 30622 XT-PIC i8042 14: 21944 XT-PIC ide0 15: 16383 XT-PIC ide1 NMI: 0 LOC: 0 ERR: 0 MIS: 0 ------------------------------------- The modem does not show. It was installed on windows using com2 and irq 3. The modem now a winmodem. It is Best Data #56sf92, a controller based modem which installs in an ISA slot.
