I had previously posted a response to your question. You either did not
see it or choose to ignore it, so I will try 1 more time.
I have an Actiontec PCI modem. In Windows the modem is on Comm5, in
Linux the modem is Comm4, ttyS3. THERE IS NO ttyS4.
If you will enter the proper set-serial commands you should have no
problem getting your modem to work in kppp as ttyS3.
If you continue to insist on trying to set-up your modem using a value
that does not exist then you need to go out now to your nearest computer
store and buy an external modem, because you will NEVER be able to get your
PCI modem to work
