Is this a PCI 56k internal modem? If so, chances are it
won't work. Give us some details on your system, especially
modem brand, model, etc and maybe someone here can help.

comm port, I/O address and IRQ with jumpers, if such are
available for your modem. IIRC, after that, you'll need to
run "setserial" and see what comes up for that modem. BTW,
ttys0=com1, ttys1=com2, etc.
