It uses the tulip driver and cannot apparently be detected or autoprobed during the install, but can be hand-configured with a tool as simple as linuxconf afterward. Once that is done, it should be visible on boot UNLESS you have PNP enabled in the BIOS. The detection of an ISA modem on install is tricky and depends partly on the motherboard BIOS settings. For best results just put /dev/ttyS1 as your modem in kppp....
