I have a delema along the same lines. I joined this thread late. But here is the set up that I have: COM1 : External Modem COM2 : Logiteck serial mouse I am trying to figure out two things. First, I put in an internal Zoltrix modem (non-PNP) version, and have no way of finding out what it's settings are what so ever. I tried alot of things. Maybe is there is a port checker out there that I can use to tell me what is what? Second I have a psm0 device showing up at IRQ 12. However it conflicts with IO_KBD 0X60 memory block. SO I Am wondering if that is the modem. Is there anything out there that can check some of these settings for me? MSD doesn't seam to have any info. Also can I have both com ports working and the internal modem, or does one of the internal ports have to be closed? The motherboard that I have is an OptiViper with a cyrix 166+. Two more odd things, or questions: Is there anyway to use the 586 optamization in the kernel with the cyrix 166+ ? and my Logiteck mouse only works with the following setting: Section "Pointer" Protocol "GlidePoint" Device "/dev/cuaa1" BaudRate 1200 EndSection Which is very odd indeed... But since it works fine, I am just cureous rather then worried. Thanks alot all for the great help Tamer Ziady Intuitive Design Archive http://www.in-design.com archive@in-design.com
