Adrian It would be worth checking to make sure that your modem isn't a Winmodem. A friend of mine had lots of problems with his modem and Linux until he discovered that he had a Winmodem and that it wasn't supported under Linux. John

I am trying to get my modem seen - internal 56K ISA type.

Are the 4 'ports' that the modem can be assigned to in fact ports, or are they aliases? I'm sure that I saw somewhere in the manual a modem being aliased as 'tulip'

When I try to auto detect the modem, LINUX only appears to look at serial ports 0 and 1 (internal cards tend to sit at 3 or 4) and then announces that no modem can be found, or that it may be in use elsewhere.

I intend digging deeper over the weekend, but any ideas in the meantime please?
