Don't you just love crappy PC hardware sometimes.  When you switched  IRQ's
did you move the modem or the mouse to a diffrent IRQ.  COM1=irq4 and
COM2=irq3 in case you didn't know.  When you boot what serial ports does
Linux find. (dmesg | grep tty).  Also take a look at "cat /proc/interrupts"
to see what irq's linux thinks is assigned to what.  You may have to use the
setserial utility to slide the irq assignments arround.~

So setting up ppp wasn't hard?  What method did you use?
