Matt,
THANK YOU!
Tried "Auto-configure" let it choose. It chose irq 10 which didn't
work as before. "PnP" didn't make any difference. But I noticed
onboard serial port B was disabled. Changed to "auto". Changed
irq to 3 so ep0 would work. Then changed serial port to COM1
/dev/cuaa0 and plugged modem into other port. Now both work!
Thank you so much...
Damon
