Most PCI modems are a pain to get working. You have to use a command such as
setserial. You may want to read up on this. If you know that it is a PCI
modem try: less /proc/pci to find the port address and irq of the pci
modem card to use in set serial.
ps you can do a man on setserial for help as well and remeber Win modoms are
not real modems and rely on software in windows to emulate hardware they
should have. That is why they do not work.
