You don't have anything else using IRQ4, do you? COM1 and COM3 (sort of) share IRQ4 and COM2 and COM3 share IRQ3. I've never had much luck with running two COM ports with the same IRQ -- if you have a mouse on COM1, that could cause problems. Even if you don't have anything on that COM port, disable it in the BIOS, just to make sure nothing is causing a conflict. Additionally, make sure that your BIOS sees that it should not assign IRQ4 to any PCI devices. I know a lot of systems like to try and assign those low IRQs to devices, even though they may already be in use. If kppp still gives you trouble, it's always a good idea to try out minicom. -- _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ ___ _ _ __ SIG: HUP / \/ \(_)| ' // ._\ / - \(_)/ ./| ' /(__ \_||_/|_||_|_\\___/ \_-_/|_|\__\|_|_\ __) [ Mike Hicks | http://umn.edu/~hick0088/ | mailto:hick0088 at tc.umn.edu ] -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
