Modem working - Yay!

For those who where following the saga of my modem on my IPCOP box: Following Mr Sawtell's suggestion 'dmesg | grep tty': ttyS04 at port 0xe400 (irq = 10) is a 16550A Since /dev/ttyS4 would correspond to COM5 in DOSspeak, and the web interface to set up the dailer in IPCOP only offers COM1 - COM
