List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi Well I can't give you exact instruction as I don't know what is required for the modem. If you've been reading you should know what it requires. I guess that you need parameters passing to the kernel. Such as port and irq, although, I would have thought that it was a plug n play device. But if it does need parameters passing to the kernel, you just append them to the loadlin line of your batchfile. A quick search on google is likely to provide you with step by step instruction. That's assuming that it is down to the modem, as you haven't stated exactly when this occurs. It may be that something else has been changed.
