This error I have not seen yet.. I'am trying to get my modem to work with kernel-ppp these are the entire errors I'am getting: This is the modem device: sio0 at port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on isa0 sio0: type 16550A sio1 at port 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on isa0 sio1: type 16550A ( Which would be I guess " /dev/cuaa0 " or " /dev/cuaa1 " cuaa0 =COM1 cuaa1 =COM2 which would be sio0 = COM1 and sio1 = COM2 now this happens both on PCI and ISA I figured with ISA it would be different.. ) router# /etc/ppp/pppserv ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCDIFADDR): Can't assign requested address ?Connection on /dev/cuaa0 is not open. ?Connection on /dev/cuaa0 is not open. ?Connection on /dev/cuaa0 is not open. ?Connection on /dev/cuaa0 is not open. ?Connection on /dev/cuaa0 is not open. ?Connection on /dev/cuaa0 is not open.

And would much more perfer a PCI modem to put on there.. Instead of a ISA is why fixing both ISA would lead me to fixing PCI modem. Another question is how fast can I up a modems speed ? Thank you. Wilson.
