Is anything else trying to use that IRQ? If it has jumpers, use them and mark off the IRQ as used in the BIOS (this way, PnP won't try to map things on top of it). Also, does this modem have a Lucent DSP1673 on it, per chance? I have an ISA modem (an ActionTec) with one of those, and it will drop chraracters and give me tons of silo-overflow messages unless I throttle the line speed to 38400 (I get the feeling its 16550 emulation is broken; it's odd though because the modem behaves fine with Win95's COM drivers). -lee -- +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Lee Cremeans -- Manassas, VA, USA (WakkyMouse on WTnet) | | lcremeans@erols.com | http://wakky.dyndns.org/~lee | To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
