Alex,

First I agree with your comments about linux drivers. The interupt assignment occurs in the BIOS level. Not loading the drivers does 
not remove the device from the power up startup config process. 

Second windoz should be very happy with two modems. That is not the issue. Is there a way you can move one of the modems to 
com 2 or 4. I suspect you have an interupt conflict. Try turning off either the IR or serial ports. 

Dan

Thanks for your response, Dan, but I'm not sure (in my very genuine ignorance) what you mean.  So far as I can tell when I checked 
through Windoze hardware detection the internal modem and the external modem had different Com, IRQ, and port numbers.  In any 
event I've got the modem working under Windoze - or are you suggesting that if I changed the IRQ under Windoze that would also 
change the IRQ under Linux, and so make the external modem recognisable by Linux?  Am I making sense to you?

Regards, Alex
