Interesting. I have the external version of that modem and it won't work
in either windoze or Mandriva 2006.
I think I will also try those suggestions.

Mike, you can check IRQ conflicts like this:
cat /proc/interrupts
From the results, you can see if there are any devices using the same IRQ.
If there are - you can try shifting cards around. Also, if you're -not-
using some things on your PC (printer port, just for example) you can turn
them off in BIOS and gain an IRQ or 2 back. Just make sure its not
something that you are actually using! :-)
HTHs.
I did as you said and got

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.
Thanks for your reply
