I don't know if the modem will get detected with linux tools like under windows, I'd be surprised. I wouldn't worry about it though, just store the proper initialization string in the modems NVRAM (Non Volatile RAM). -- Lou A.

There is a Linux package called "pnptools" for dealing with pnp hardware, but you will have to do some twiddling - it's not automatic. Hopefully it won't be too long and the kernel will be designed to deal with pnp without user setup. ALso make sure it's not a Winmodem; if so get another modem. If you get an external modem, you won't have to deal with pnp. Try sending mail as plain ASCII, and you might get better results with answers.

You have to edit your isapnp.conf and enter the address and irq. Enter the following: pnpdump > /etc/isapnp.conf Also, make sure you don't have your motherboards second com port set to the same irq. See how the lines are uncommented, and the base address and irq are entered ? ############################################################# # isapnp.conf for a pnp cardinal modem # Card 2: (serial identifier 4c 74 29 38 0e 00 00 44 0e) # ANSI string -->Cardinal MVP288I2 <-- (CONFIGURE CRD0000/1948858382 (LD 0 (IO 0 (BASE 0x02f8)) (INT 0 (IRQ 3 (MODE +L))) (ACT Y) )) (WAITFORKEY) ################################################################ zentara -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
