    *shrug*

X.

        Here are some logs that might come in handy..

    A clipping from my /var/log/boot.msg

            <snip>

<6>Serial driver version 5.05c (2001-07-08) with MANY_PORTS SHARE_IRQ
SERIAL_PCI ISAPNP enabled
<6>PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 00:09.0
<6>ttyS04 at port 0xdc00 (irq = 11) is a 16550A

            <snip>

With any kernel later than 2.4.6 this part will sometimes fail, either way
 the modem still won't respond unless useing 2.4.6 or earlyer..
