Just to add to this, yhou may need to configure your P'nP card first. The package to use is "isapnp". It is best to set the Plug and Pray cards up when your machine boots. I do it in my rc.local script. You will also need to "setserial" your /dev/ttySx device (where "x" is the number of your serial device, as discussed below). A tip: On my machine I need to set the UART type as well as the port and IRQ (I have a 16550A UART). man setserial will give you the setserial parameters. Also, you don't state what your modem is. If it is a "winmodem" you are out of luck: Linux won't support this as winmodems are modems that are designed specifically for the Windows platform, for Windows taking over the activity that some of the "normal" modems' hardware does. That's the price that you pay for a cheaper modem, I'm afraid!
