I had a problem using the CUPS printer setup. It worked for the test but
after that it never would work. Try plain LP0.
I also have an external modem on Com1 and used KPPP to get it going. Open
it and I think under modem you pick /dev/ttyS0 for COM1
Then query it and it should identify itself to the dialup program.
This is all new to me but it worked...
Good luck,
