[techtalk] For the not so techie Linux users

[Mike and Mary Anne Cox]

If you go to the Control Panel in windoze, you can do one of two things.

click on the device manager tab, select View devices by type, then click on 
your modem, select properties, from the popup that appears, select the 
Resources tab, it should have all I/O info and IRQ info for you there.

The other option is to simply go to system from the control Panel, click on 
Hardware Profiles and then select Print.  This will print out all of the 
hardware, manufacturer, and resource information.

It only takes a second for the info to print.  I did this when I got Linux 
installed on my secondary hard drive because I got tired of having to go 
back and forth to make sure I had all of the info.

Hope this helps.
