I have a number of these. The modem is indeed identified as uart2: port 0xe500-0xe507 irq 10 at device 14.0 on pci0 uart2: [FILTER] uart2@pci0:0:14:0: class=0x070002 card=0x00d312b9 chip=0x100812b9 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 vendor = '3COM Corp, Modem Division (Formerly US Robotics)' device = 'USR5610B (0005610-02) 56K Performance Pro Modem (PCI Internal) (USR5610B)' class = simple comms subclass = UART cap 01[dc] = powerspec 2 supports D0 D2 D3 current D0 But other than that, it seems to work just fine for my setup which is dial backup for a pppoe site. Can you post details of your ppp.conf setup and the steps needed to illustrate the problem ? ---Mike -- ------------------- Mike Tancsa, tel +1 519 651 3400 Sentex Communications, mike@sentex.net Providing Internet services since 1994 www.sentex.net Cambridge, Ontario Canada http://www.tancsa.com/
