I'm coming in late here (I missed the previous messages), but I have an ISA PnP
modem working happily so I'll have a go. I hope I'm not just repeating what has
gone before.
I have my modem set up with its registers at 0x200 and using IRQ 12 - i.e. not
a standard COManything. I had to set IRQ12 as 'Not for PnP' in the BIOS, but
apart from that it was plain sailing; I deliberately didn't want anything
taking the COM1/2/3/4 IRQs 4 & 3 (I want both COM1 and COM2 working) so thought
I might as well put everything miles away from the usual COM places.
The key is getting the correct runes in /etc/isapnp.conf, which I must admit
took this bear of very little brain a certain amount of fiddling. If you'd like
to drop over the output from pnpdump and your /etc/isapnp.conf, I'd be happy to
take a look through and compare with my /etc/isapnp.conf. I'm off work at the
moment mostly bedridden (damaged L5 disc giving my left sciatic nerve hell -
only another hour to the next morphine dose....) so a little puzzle to pass the
time would be nice. :-)
It certainly sounds like you have port and/or IRQ clashes at the mo.
