You should be able to turn a USR PnP modem into a conventional one just by jumpering..

I don't use the PnP features, even in W95, and I've set its jumpers to SEL, COM4, IRQ 3. Try this. Don't forget that in Linux, COM4 is /dev/ttyS3 (or /dev/cua3, which isn't good).

I apologize that some of the details may not be correct, 'cos this is from memory. I'm using a kernel compiled from the 2.0.27 sources, with PCMCIA modules compiled from the 2.0.27 (must be same version). The problem was that the default IRQ mask used by the low level PC card driver module (called i832656, or something similar) allowed it to probe the IRQ assigned to my PS/2 device. According to the man pages, this driver can't detect conflicts using the controllers in my machine (a Vadem), and it nabbed the IRQ. I read lots of man pages, and found that you can pass an IRQ bitmask as an argument to the card driver. I tried doing this in /etc/modules.conf, but it didn't seem to work. Eventually I found that adding `irq_mask=0x400' after CORE_OPTS in /etc/pcmcia.conf did the trick. I must confess to not having read the PCMCIA HOWTO. I still have a problem where the PC card device file /dev/ttyS2 appears busy all the time, but /dev/cua2 doesn't. I think I'll go read it.

Hi, I do have a US Robotics Sportster 28.8 FAX modem (which _was_ advertized as PnP), and have had no problems getting it to work -- my ppp-connect-with-diald script is attached below.
