is it an internal modem? isa-pnp is for cards on the ISA bus.

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you two.  I've been remodeling
our bedroom and I had a Dr.'s appointment.  Dr. appt is in Medford, OR a
225 + mile round trip from Happy Camp.  Takes a full day.  I think I
figgered out my problem, at least on 3.1.1.  Can't do it like earlier
OL's.  Went to the Help button.  Need to edit the inetd.conf file.  May
need help when I get a minute to do this.  Wife seems to think just
because we've lived in the house 32 years it's time to re-do bedroom?



It is an internal US Robotics voice/fax 33.6 K modem.  Here is the
