(and for those who remember my messages on this, I have tried PNPBIOS with and without, I have editted the sio.c file to put the modem's isaPNP id in there, etc etc) My question is this: I read once that the COM resources and the IRQ resources are independent from each other in the sense that modems don't really use the IRQ they are on, just the COM (whatever that means, I'm not hardware oriented). Is it possible that my modem (a cheap generic 56K isapnp) is not in the irq bitmap because it really isn't using any irq?? I'm not on the list, so reply personally.
