Did I forget something? try wdcN instead -- controller wdc0 at isa? port "IO_WD1" bio irq 14 vector wdintr controller wdc1 at isa? port "IO_WD2" bio irq 15 vector wdintr >com 3 irq 5??? Not usually. Try setting that back down to >2. Yes, com3/irq5 works great for internal modems, and some of the more expensive serial controllers. Normally, com3 would use IRQ 4, but this causes a conflict if com1 is also in use. At one time, I had 3 modems, a serial terminal, and a serial mouse installed. Used IRQs 2,3,4,5, and 10, don't remember the I/O addresses. ttyl, Troy Settle <st@i-Plus.net> Network Administrator, iPlus Internet Services http://www.i-Plus.net
