Check the jumper settings on the card itself. Even if you found the IRQ on windows, it doesn't mean that's what the card is set to. Windows automatically assigns the port range and IRQ, unless you specify otherwise within your system settings for that hardware. DOS and I'm pretty sure linux, rely on the jumper setting.

Typically, COM1 uses IRQ4 and COM2 uses IRQ3. You can use Device Manager to confirm. Under Win98 you can do this: Right Click on My Computer Select Properties Select the Device Manager tab Select Computer and click Properties This will show which IRQs are currently in use (You can also see the I/O, DMA and Memory usage by your hardware. ) -- Brian Jerry wrote: > > Gotta modem problem.
