I have not resolved the problem using the internal modem on COM1. Here is the scenario: I have MWave card on IBM Aptiva system that combines the functions of a Sound Card, some DSP, COM1 Fax/Modem. The COM1 has an i/o address of 02F8h (0x2f8) and uses IRQ 4. I have PS/2 mouse which is working fine. Has anybody heard of the Mwave Card ? I scanned through the FAQ for hardware support and I could not find any. The system also comes with two (extrenal) serial ports A & B which are configured as COM2 (0x3e8, IRQ 3) and COM3 (0x3e8, IRQ 4). I have tried kernel configuration: - sio0 with 0x2f8 and intr. 4 , with/without conflicts clause and commented out sio1, sio2 and sio3. I saw the WIN95 config, it shows COM1 at the above address. During boot, the kernel says that sio0 is not configured because 0x2f8 does not respond. The only way sio0 would work is if I configured my kernel for 0x38h which is actually COM3. That is why my modem is not responding (sincve it is configured as COM3). How do I get the kernel to recognize sio0 ? Does the serial driver only recognize serial port cards and not this multi-function card. If so, any ideas how I can use the built-in modem. I got my fvwm working! I found out that "twm" is configured in the xinitrc (under /usr/X11R6/lib/x11). Do you think this should be part of the handbook ? Thanks for you help.
