Wow, these reports are coming out of the woodwork all of a sudden. Just
yesterday I got an email from a guy with the same (probably) problem. I
own an Actiontec PCI call waiting modem, and it works fine with every
version of Linux I've thrown at it; I like it.
First things first: are you using setserial to set up the modem? If
so, cut it out. Modern 2.4 kernels autodetect and setup everything
themselves (Not sure when that started; possibly 2.4.7). Anyway, try
using /dev/ttyS4 as your modem device and see what happens; that is the
first PCI serial port.
Let me know.
