I tried it but it still does not work. The system does not recognize the modem
untill I type "reboot". After reboot the /proc/ioports has
02e8-02ef: serial(auto)
02f8-02ff: serial(set)
while if I shutdown and then turn on the system it only has
002f8-02ff: serial(set)
I spend a lot of time on dejanews and yahoo but could not find an answer.
