Robin,

scanModem reports that there is an IRQ problem:

 For candidate card in slot 00:03.1, firmware information and bootup
diagnostics are:
  PCI slot       PCI ID          SubsystemID     Name
  ----------     ---------       ---------       --------------
  00:03.1        115d:000c       8086:2408       Serial controller:
Xircom Mini-PCI V.90 56k Modem

  Modem interrupt assignment and sharing:
  11:       1010    XT-PIC-XT        uhci_hcd:usb1, 164x, eth0
  --- Bootup diagnostics for card in PCI slot 00:03.1 ----

 martian 0000:00:03.1: found PCI INT A -> IRQ 11
 martian 0000:00:03.1: sharing IRQ 11 with 0000:00:03.0

  The PCI slot 00:03.1 of the modem card may be disabled early in
  a bootup process,  but then enabled later. If modem drivers load
  but the  modem is not responsive, read DOCs/Bootup.txt about possible fixes.
  Send dmesg.txt along with ModemData.txt to discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
  if help is needed.

You may follow the instructions provided here on top or you may try
swapping the pci devices on your machine and maybe that can force the
IRQ that you want?

Regards,

Antonio
