Re: X hangs modem/ppp
fire up gpm (console mouse driver/server) start using it to copy/paste and
see if that does the same, if it does then it is for sure a
conflict(doesnt have to be an IRQ conflict it can be an I/O conflict)
if not..not sure what to reccomend, it is a hardware modem right and not a
winmodem ..while most winmodems dont work in linux there are a few that
do.
