I had the trouble as well, and the problem was the default
memory address. From the Cyclades tech support line, they
suggested I change it to:
(from dmesg)
cy0 irq 10 maddr 0xd2000 msize 8192 on isa
^^^^^^^
This takes a change of the DIP switches on card itself. I don't have
the manual in front of me to give you those, but its in there!
They said that the default mem address was often used by the PCI bus.
The one above is the one they recommend to change to.
(Why they don't use this one as a defualt, I don't know.)
I've been running 8 modems 24x7 for 6 months with no problems and
am looking to go to 32 (24 Ye and current 8Yo).
There are some Linux guys at Cyclades tech, so if this doesn't
help, they should be able to.
