Re: Modem on irq 5



I also have my modem on irq 5 (com3...) and I had to make the
changes. I used the manual setserial for about a month till I got 
tired and then I just went into /etc/rc.d/rc.local *not rc.serial* and
used the folowing thing:
#! /bin/sh
# Put any local setup commands in here
echo "Setting serial  device /dev/cua2 to irq 5"
setserial /dev/cua2 irq 5
echo "serial device /dev/cua2 set"
# Running gpm
# echo "Running gpm..."
# gpm -t bm &

and since then, things work fine and manually! I have not figured out what to 
do in the rc.serial file. I tried and did not succeed there, so I went where
the grass was greener, and succeeded!!
