Tricky.... there could be lots of things wrong. The most common
things are problably one of the following
o The modem is a winmodem (can't be fixed as it's not a *real*
modem).
o You've got the wrong irq (need to boot with -c and fix it)
o You've got the wrong i/o address (use another com port)
o You've got a PnP modem (ensure you haven't set the BIOS to PnP os,
otherwise boot -v to find the PnP id and file a bug report).
o Something else.... dunno. I usually avoid answering this sort of
question :-/
