Dear Tapan, I see in your mail three different aspects: 1/ "Intel 537EP card found" in dmesg. This sounds good and tells the driver is correctly installed and recognized your modem as a 537EP modem. 2/ "serial8250: too much work for irq21" in dmesg. The is another driver outputting this. From: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=28025 this would suggest not starting ppp on a ttySx terminal. >QUOTE> Re: Serial8250: Too much work for IRQ11 ________________________________________________________________________ On my laptop, I get the same message. I found that by killing the ppp session on ttyS0, the problem goes away. Now I just need the find where this ppp session is started? Where is inittab? >/QUOTE> If the solution comes from not starting ppp you may edit your /etc/inittab to prevent ppp from starting, using the Serial8250 device. 3/"efax: 34:13 Error: can't open serial port /dev/537ep: Bad address" Perform the following commands: $ ls -l /dev/modem You should read it points to /dev/537ep device $ ls /dev/537* You should read /dev/537ep and /dev/537ep0 Your efax command you should like: $ efax -vewinchmart This automatically opens up /dev/modem. Note that you do not have to specify a device and /dev/modem is the default.
