I have seen several pnp modems with jumpers that enable you to defeat the pnp
function , so perhaps you should try that route first. If that is not possible
consult /usr/doc/HOWTO//Plug-and-Play-HOWTO, which covers the subject pretty
well.
Be sure to check your jumper settings for comports. Typical modem settings are
COM2 or COM4(ttyS01 or ttyS03) and IRQ3. Wdoze 9x likes to see modems on COM2 so
use that as your prefered setting. I've seen isa plug and play refered to often
as "plug and pray"- so good luck.
