OK. This makes it straightforward. Your problem is that the default setting
for Linux's equivalent of COM4, /dev/ttyS3, is IRQ 3.
So, to get things working, try using these three commands:
setserial /dev/ttyS3 irq 11
rm /dev/modem
ln -s /dev/ttyS3 /dev/modem
Now see if minicom connects to the modem. Make sure ppp is using ttyS3 and
it too should work (at least to the point of dialing, but if your 14.4
connection worked, you presumably have the rest figured out).
The last loose end is with PnP configuration. If you're lucky, the modem
will still be sitting at IRQ 11 when you boot Linux. If you aren't, you'll
need to use the "isapnp" package to set it up. I don't have experience with
this app, but others on the list do, and I'm sure someone else will respond
to a problem report if you post one. (Be sure to read the appropriate HowTo
first, of course.)
