Hummm.. What is the probe looking for? What am I looking for in the BIOS?
The only thing I could see would be the section where I setup the "PnP/PCI
config". There I can set a few variables such as:
Resources controlled by: auto [auto|manual]
{This is a list of IRQs appearing only when I set the above parameter to
"manual", they all default to PnP/PCI}
Irq X : [Legacy ISA|PnP/PCI]
where X ranges from 1 to 15
It is possible that this is a BIOS problem since I had a CMOS battery
problem between the upgrades (lucky me:)), but then again how come the
modem works in windoze?
I'm really tired of using the crappy so-called "HyperTerminal" to connect
to the "net".
And I don't trust windows a bit for security. This modem thingie is the
only thing that keeps me from throwing Windows out of the window. :))
