1. This problem IRQs me.
Gotta modem problem. It works on Windows but not on Linux.
The box says it works on Linux. My brudder says I gotta find out the IRQ
on Windows and then do the setserial thing on Linux and set it to the same
IRQ. On Windows the modem is on com 2; com 2 is on IRQ default. I don't
know how to find out what the default is. I tried to find out on the
control panel thingy but no luck. I even download a program that's
supposed to show all the IRQs but it didn't work.
This modem problem was caused by a snow storm that caused the power to
shut off for a few hours. Just before the power went off there were two
pops. Later when the power came back I found that my electric clock was
fried and my modem was fried. I replaced the modem. The new modem is a
US Robotics modem. And the box says it works with Linux.

You might not have a recent enough version or the kernel, or the modem
support might not be compiled in. For example, I couldn't get sound to work
with Mandrake-Linux until I recompiled the kernel with sound support.
I'd offer some help, but that's pretty much the limit of what I know.
