You seem to be confusing IRQ and DMA. COM1 and COM3 (typically) use =
IRQ-4. COM ports don't use DMA. Sound cards (typically) use IRQ-5 and =
DMA-1, although with newer hardware that can run on virtually any IRQ =
address, these standards are all but obsolete.

My modem is on COM3/cua2 though. I think that I might have a DMA =
conflict because my sound card runs on DMA 4 and I believe that modem on =
COM3/cua2 and COM1/cua0 operate on DMA 4 also. Is there some way to =
figure out if this is the problem, and if it is, is there some way to =
correct it. I would prefer not switching jumpers because I also run =
Win98, but if it is the only way I'm willing to give it a try.

While I have no experience with this modem, their web page =
indicates that this is a "standard" modem...

Try setting the modem to COM2 and disabling any on board Com2 =
ports.

Use the GUI tools to set the modem link to /dev/cua1 and you =
should be all set.
