hi there, may be some one here can help me. I'm trying to use a pcmica fax modem,
and a 10/100 Ethernet card, with win98, and I keep running into this IRQ issue. I'm
some what of a novice, but it seem like I know(or have learned) more about this than
all the computer people I know. It's an IBM ThinkPad. can any one tell me how to
do this??? Any help would be greatly appreciated
