Jude - In Slackware the file you want to edit is /etc/rc.d/rc.serial - which is executed from within the file /etc/rc.d/rc.S (the 'S' is capital here). You need to uncomment the line that executes the rc.serial file, then make the desired changes in rc.serial. I am not sure what you mean by "waking the card up" - but there is no difficulty using IRQ 9 for a COM2 device (ttyS1 in Linux). If you are dealing with a Winmodem, forget it! Chuck.
