I tried this and obtained no result at all. setserial cannont autodetect the
uart, and even if i specified the uart manually it still didn't have any
result. (i am testing the modem using minicom)
After examining more carefully the windows95 setting it turned up that the
modem (thinks?) is using com2, but the other device, called 'modem
enumerator' is probably what linux is seeing at 0xe800/10 (because it is
using exactly these settings in windows95).
does anyone know what exactly *is* this modem that i have? It shouldn't be
one of the software modems - is it possible that it is a hardware modem but
the serial port is software generated? is there any way to get a software
serial driver in this case?

here is some more information from /proc about my current configuration

setserial -g gives: (unless i specify the uart myself)
