I have no idea whether that modem will work or not, but I do know that since Windows starts counting at 1, where Linux starts at 0, you're probably looking for /dev/ttys4.

Trying to get modem to work with Debian
Hi all, I have a US Robotics USR5699B PCI modem and I am trying to get it installed under Debian Woody. According to Windows, it is installed on COM5, IRQ 11. Under Debian, I had to create the com port as ttyS5, then use setserial /dev/ttyS5 irq 11. Then I tried using wvdial and that does not work, apparently it does not recognize the port. I don't remember the exact error messages. Since I am using KDE, I tried using kppp, but kpp does not give the choice of /dev/ttyS5. 1. Will this modem work under Debian or am I wasting my time? 2. If it will work, how do I get kppp to recognize /dev/ttyS5? Of more to the point, how do I get this modem to work? Thanks in advance for any help on this problem. I would like to move over to Linux as my main OS, if only I can get a modem for internet access. I knew I should have spent the extra $20 to get the other US Robotics modem that said it was also for Linux, but being unemployed at the moment, I am trying to save money...smile. James E.
