Hello everyone,

I'm hoping someone can help w/ my modem problems.
I have a creative labs modemblaster flash pci dl5630 and I've installed
linux on the computer which is already running win98.  Win98 had the
modem on com3 irq 9 (it's pnp). I thought linux didn't like irq9 for a
modem so i switched it to com1 irq5.
Still no luck.

I've tried this:  setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart 16450 port 0x3f8 irq 5
When in kde, i use kppp to initialize and I always get "sorry, modem is
busy".
Anyway, I'm been working on this nonstop without luck since last night
and i'm all out of coffee!
Any ideas?

I'll be happy to get ANY help at all.
