Rep:
You have been a wonderful question asker and instruction follower. i have
little doubt you will be a linux master within several months, if you put
the time in.
Unfortunately I will have to stay away from my linux for some month. My firm sent me to Poland and I will stay until november. Until I come home, I am using my firm's laptop and I don't have the possibility to install linux on it. I'll retry as soon as I come home.
The last hint I received is to try and look for cupsd, but then I left without the possibility to follow the track.
iqbala, whansard, you indicated that you have the Davicom ISA 33.6K modem with PNP ID DAV0336. I posted a patch in the Linux kernel bugzilla at bugzilla.kernel.org, bug 4355 (sorry, the forum won't let me include the URL directly because this is my first post) that should make the Linux serial driver automatically claim the Davicom modem without needing any setserial or isapnp magic. If you have the chance to test it and confirm that, I'll push the patch into a future Linux kernel release.
