You have my sympathies, I have just wasted far too long getting an old PC running. I belive my problem was plug n play bios related. I would try and turn off enough of the clever bits in the bios to allow the old card to work undisturbed. I have no idea about the new modem, but try posting details of make model and error messages and some one may know. David On Friday 12 September 2003 5:41 pm, John Sowden wrote:
I have an existing 100mhz 48mb ram suse 8.0 machine with an isa usr 56k modem. all works fine-using it now.
I just bought a 1.2ghz motherboard, 256mb ram, installed suse 8.2 pro. runs fine, but: when I moved the isa usr modem to the new board, suse cannot find the modem. I set the irq to 3, com to 1, used the ln -s /dev/ttyS0 modem command to create the link, no help. I disabled the com2 on the mb and tried it, changing the device link and the jumpers on the modem, no help. using wvdial I get the modem not responding error. I have tried multiple com/irq tries, checking with the setserial -g command. my concern is the buss speed is too great for the isa modem.
I also tried a new usr pci modem (not a win, per the dealer), no jumpers, windows only driver disk. suse cannot find it either.
