Josh, Please join the list through the SUBSCRIBE link at www.linmodems.org. You messages will go through faster. RE: > FATAL: Module agrmodem is in use. You may have tried to unload agrmodem before agrserial. Unloading goes in the reverse order RE:> [ 94.840000] ttyAGS3 at I/O 0xe800 (irq = 11) is a AgereModem Good, At least the modem was recognized. Now we need to know what else is using IRQ 11 Do: $ cat /proc/interrupts do show the IRQ assignments and copy to us. If the competing IRQ 11 processes can be shut down, the modem should function.
