What you do depends on what kind of internal modem you have. If it is a
"Winmodem," you are out of luck -- Linux doesn't have drivers for them (and
it increasingly looks like it never will ... sigh). If it is a real modem,
with a real serial port, look for it with this command: "setserial
/dev/ttyS2". See if the result reports a UART type (that it will report an
INT and IO Port is irrelevant, BTW -- those are set in the /dev entry and
don't assure that there is really any device there).
You also need to figure out how the modem is getting assigned to COM3 under
Windows. If it is PnP, you may need to run the appropriate Linux pnp package
(e.g., isapnp for ISA boards) to get the modem recognized.
BTW, did you copy those dmesg lines correctly? The 2 serial ports shouldn't
have the same IO port address, and I don't recall ever seeing a "16530A"
UART before.
