[ltp] power off winmodem ??

[jjmckenzie51@earthlink.net]

Alex:

The problem is that you were trying to run modems on the same com "link"=2E=
=20
Com1 and com3 "share" the same interrupt and thus the two modems could not=

be assigned to this com "pair"=2E  I always suggest turning "off" the
internal modem device, if possible, before connecting either a PCMCIA or
external modem to a system=2E

May I expose my ignorance and ask how one prevents 'loading the drivers fo=
r
the device'?  I have=20
a Thinkpad A21e with a winmodem=2E  I've bought an serial external modem, =
but
could only get it to=20
work under Windoze 2000 by disabling the internal winmodem=2E  I suspect t=
hat
the reason Xandros=20
won't recognise the external modem at all is that it is blocked by the
internal modem - even=20
though the winmodem is on Com3 and the external modem is on Com1=2E  Does
this make sense?
