Issue
After installing the Lucent modem in an Infinia the system displays "MSGSRV32..." or "IFSMGR..." Exception error messages when Windows loads. This problem can occur when a reserve was previously placed on IRQ3 in order to keep the USB interface from usurping IRQ3. This is seen frequently when an ISA or PCI card has been added which forces the USB to share an IRQ.
