An ISA will nearly always be a jumpered, you will need to use these to manually set the IRQ, I/O, and Com port. These must be properly set so that there are no conflicts with any other hardware or with any settings in the system BIOS. The setserial command can them be used to define your modem and allow for its operation in linux.
