Even if it isn't picked up automatically you can always configure the IRQ & port using the '-c' option at boot time. Just make sure the config you choose doesn't clash with any of your other serial ports (or any other device for that matter), and that you enable the sio device that you assign it to. Eg, to put the modem on sio2 you might do something like: config> pnp 1 0 enable os irq0 5 port 0x3e8 then make sure sio2 is enabled and the modem *should* be detected. This works for me on a crusty old pre-PnP 486, but YMMV. BTW Doug, if I wanted the modem to be autodetected, where would I put the relevant info? A quick poke through the kernel sources hasn't revealed anything, but I am probably looking in the wrong place.
