I found that the main problem was getting the PCI modem to be properly assigned to a serial device. Do the following: 1. make sure you have pciutils installed. 2. run lspci -v and look for a reference to the "serial controller" device. Note its IRQ and i/o port address, say, for example: "00:13.0 Serial controller: US Robotics: Unknown device 1008 (rev 01) (prog-if 02) Subsystem: Unknown device 12b9:00ad Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 19 I/O ports at efe0" 3. open /etc/rc.boot/0setserial, scrool down to MANUAL CONFIGURATION, look at the lines for COM1 to COM4, and uncomment the line for, say, ttyS2 and edit it to read, say, for example: "${SETSERIAL} -b /dev/ttyS2 uart 16550A port 0xefe0 irq 19 ${STD_FLAGS}" 4. reboot.
