Modem connects, then disconects quickly. When it connects it returns error 19.

(exit code = 19) I have found this from ModemData.txt that you sent to us, Modem interrupt assignment and sharing: 16: 1 IO-APIC-fasteoi --- Bootup diagnostics for card in PCI slot 02:01.0 ---- [ 21.152602] ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:01.0[A] -> GSI 22 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 [ 21.152885] 0000:02:01.0: ttyS1 at I/O 0xec00 (irq = 16) is a 16550A It might be interfering with the connection. Hope that Marv, Jacques or other user can tell us here if this Modem interrupt is causing problems or not. > Wait a little bit and try the connection again.
