Hi Folks! i'm running Redhat 6.2 in my machine and i'm having
problems connecting to the net. whenever i use kppp it says "sorry, modem
is busy". I've a pci modem and the irq for the modem is 10. i guess the
sound and modem are using the same irq. could that be a problem? if yes,
how do i get around it? is there a way i can make the modem not feel sorry
but connect to the internet?

Shreyas.

I'm affraid (but only 90% sure) that your modem has a slight tendency to use
the processor a little, although this is not that bad, it needs drivers to
do so. Unfortunately those drivers are windows-only, heard some rumours of
using them for linux, but since I don't have such a modem I can't tell you
more ...
I'm not busy, connected to the internet, and sorry about the modem,
Jan

You have a Rockwell HCF modem that *requires* software drivers to make it look
like a real modem. Maybe you can find some, but (since most manufacturers don't
support Linux yet) it's likely that you are out of luck.

You probably should go and buy a _real_ modem <g>.
