Hi, a little while ago I posted a help, a few people replied for which I am
grateful. Thanks!  But still the thing don't work none! I have since dug
deeper to the
source of the problem, this is what I've discovered so far:

UART Unkown
ttyS3, IRQ 3 (these are also physically set on my isa Duxbury 56K V.90
internal modem)

The problem I get is something like 'device busy'. The modem-HOWTO
suggests...
"This problem can arise when DCD or DTR are not implemented correctly" -
what the heck does this mean? Or there is an IRQ conflict, but I am under
the
impression that Kernels greater than ver 2.2 support IRQ sharing...

Do I need to physically change my modem jumpers to IRQ 5?

Any ideas? (before I clear my desk and take my pc apart) Windows somehow
manages to run my modem on IRQ 11, is this possible under Linux?

Thanks in advance...
Erik
