I am now completely befuddled about wvdial. My 2 computers each have a Diamond Supra Express 336i PnP asvd, each one on com3. One box has it on IRQ 12, the other on 11. Each one has PnP BIOS disabled. WVDial, try as I might with it, just can't find my modems. When I come to wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf, I get no modem. It can't find a thing anywhere in the computer. I can follow this immediately with Kppp and find my modem in each case. It's just not an IRQ conflict, period. The best advice (and I trust it's very good advice in most cases) is to do something like this: 1) Disable com1, see what happens 2) type setserial /dev/ttyS0 autoconfig auto_irq -v (to find out how each IRQ is perceived) 3) type setserial /dev/ttyS2 autoconfig irq 5 (or whatever IRQ you are aiming for, to force implementation of them) 4) Open the box and fiddle. I now will undertake the thing I never wanted to do in the first place which is open the box. It's time to move the cards and see if different slots change the rules, then it's on to moving jumpers. How bad do I want to leave Windows behind? That bad. Just not bad enough to buy 2 new modems. Not yet. What really frustrates me is the fact that this is probably the only part of RH5.1 I ever got to work, my modem. I could at least log onto my ISP then. Why is suseppp, kppp and wvdial a losing trio for my particular modem? back to the box.
