Um, that's not good. Give your modem an irq other than 11, one that is free.

THAT'S what i thought but it said if i set it wrong it would lock up my computer.. typed in setserial -bg /dev/ttyS* and it said /dev/ttys0 at irq4 is 16550a
and /dev/ttys1 at irq 3 is 16550a
and /dev/ttys4 at irq 11 is 16550a

figured i would probably use one of these...?

thanks

Do you know what COM setting your modem uses in windows?

Hmmm, from setserial

/dev/ttys4 at irq 11 is 16550a

should be your modem then, because ttys4 is COM5 and it is at irq 11. Did you try connecting already? It looks as though it's already configured.
