hey guy, all,

I'm sorry but i didnt explain myself. The modem i'm using can act both as an
plug&play and not. There is a jumper that switches this action. Either way i
use (p&p or not) linux detects the modem, dail and exit at the same place
(it exits with the alarm output).

I have a question about IRQ conflict:
lets say that this is an IRQ conflict, why does it always happen at the same
time and place. (always after i dail) ? or why doesnt it show a conflict
elswhere ?

sorry, my bad
