Hi Christian,

Both cards are firmly seated and screwed. Which seems to describe me at
the moment.

It appears the PCI modems have their correct IRQs.

From dmesgs I get the following for serial ports.

ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A   - serial port used by old external modem 1
ttyS1 at I/O 0x2f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A   - serial port used by old external modem 2
ttyS14 at I/O 0xcc00 (irq = 9) is a 16550A - device PCI "modem" device is symlinked to
ttyS15 at I/O 0xe000 (irq = 5) is a 16550A - device PCI "modem1" device is symlinked to

lspci -vv shows:

I do a VGA controller routed to IRQ 5 as well as one of the PCI modems. However, wedging has 
appeared
on both modems so I don't think that is an issue.

However, the modems are being reported as Lucent Microelectronics Venus Modem (V90, 56KFlex).
Could that be the issue? Wrong drivers?

Sorry if I appear a little dim on this. I haven't had to hand install any drivers in linux. When I 
put the modems
in, the system foudn teh drivers and came up.

TIA,

Mike
