I removed the disable in the line. and recompiled. Did Boot: -c , turned off as much stuff as I could so that the conflicts and uneeded probing didn't occurr and proceeded. several times to NO avail! I HAVE noticed before with 2.1.0 that if I am rebooting for whatever reason, It seems to be necessary to do a HARD reboot. the 3finger salute just doesn't seem to reset my internal 28.8 modem card. long and short of it is that "com3 & 4" are disabled in the kernel and enableing them with Boot: -c doesn't do anything or so it appears to me. --- Gary B.
