Well, the first problem was, indeed an IRQ disagreement (thanks, Steve!). I had
modified it many boots ago, but it is reset after each boot, much to my chagrin.
Firstly, how can I _permanently_ set the IRQ correctly? I don't particularly want
to log in as root every session to reset it.
Now, on to the second set of problems. The modem now chirps and bubbles
happily when I run the script. However, it disconnects after a short period of
time. What could cause this? I have stapled my scripts to this mail, so's you
guys can point out my stupidity. Keep in mind that they have been run through the
DOS wringer to get to this mail, so the names are naturally screwed up. Let me
know if you find anything. Thanks again! Your support is saving my sanity :-)
