Hi Syeh, type.. setserial /dev/ttyS15 what's the output? Is it possible that something else is sharing the interrupt, even though it it's not in use? For example, I have the ACPI of my BIOS set to int11, Sound to int10 and DVD to int9. But only int10 and int11 are shown when I do a cat /proc/interrupts. (I haven't had time to compile in the power management stuff yet!). You say your using ttyS0 for a mouse. Is there any chance of moving to a PS/2 mouse? These can be picked up very cheaply these days. The reason I ask is that it may be useful to disable the serial ports in your BIOS for now, until you get this working. Also PS/2 mouse moves to int12 ( if I remember correctly). I used to have a winmodem that just refused to work, unless I removed COM1 from the BIOS. Moving the serial port to COM3 in the BIOS worked, but only after I got the modem to come up properly. So on that note, maybe it might be worth disabling the serial ports in your BIOS, and while your there check that the PnP is controlled by the BIOS and not the OS. Then boot into console mode (since you'll have no mouse), and see if you can get it working now. (try wvdial rather than kppp so that you don't need to run X-windows).

7. I use cat /dsp/ttyS15 , Nothing...Out Sorry, I mean /dev/ttyS15 TD> I assume this is a typo? it should be /dev/ttyS15.

Usually when I see "modem isn't responding" it's because there is no uart setup. This is caused by the char-major-4 (in modules.conf) being set to serial, yet I have compiled the serial ports into the kernel. I TD> can only assume that maybe the pctel module is causing a similar problem.
The easy check is to set char-major-4 to off, and reboot. No, This cause more problem char-major-4 is where is the mouse on ttyS0
