[.....] 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.
