Re: [TCLUG:23280] USR PCI modem

Hi, Tim.

I would forget about what Win98 says.  It is irrelevant for plug and play
devices.  Have you tried isapnp yet?

$> man isapnp
$> pnpdump > /etc/isapnp.conf
$> vi /etc/isapnp.conf # read the directions, make changes
                       # you're basically selecting IRQ and I/O here
$> isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf
