[clug] modem config problem

[Jepri]

I've seen this before, but I can't remember what caused it.

Sigh.  I guess I'm officially old now.  I'd better start writing these 
things down.

I think it happened to me when I upgraded to 2.4.  Is there an entry in 
the logs about some kind of lock going on or off the port?

Just a few Qs - how do you know that the modem has the same IO port and 
IRQ?  Is this a PCI modem?  Onboard?  Are you using a laptop?  Why is it 
on ttyS1 and not ttyS0?
