I was able to use sudo to save a new default file.

Minicom behaves exactly the same running from the live CD.

Here is the diags from Windoze 7 - it seems ok to me

About the (A) question - I think it is of no consequence, especially
keeping in mind that the modem worked ok at first.  Also:  "One drawback
of the earlier 8250 UARTs and 16450 UARTs was that interrupts were
generated for each byte received. This generated high rates of
interrupts as transfer speeds increased. More critically, with only a
1-byte buffer there is a genuine risk that a received byte will be
overwritten if interrupt service delays occur. To overcome these
shortcomings, the 16550 series UARTs incorporated a 16-byte FIFO with a
programmable interrupt trigger of 1, 4, 8, or 14 bytes.

Unfortunately, the original 16550 had a bug that prevented this FIFO
from being used. National Semiconductor later released the 16550A which
corrected this issue. Not all manufacturers adopted this nomenclature,
however, continuing to refer to the fixed chip as a 16550.[1]

The 16550 also incorporates a transmit FIFO, though this feature is less 
critical as delays in interrupt service would only result in sub-optimum 
transmission speeds and not actual data loss."
[1]     ^ What are UART and How Do They Affect Performance? ( 
http://www.pccompci.com/uarts.html  - good info here too)

About "from your lspci output: "Kernel driver in use: serial"; this is
not a module, correct?" - I don't know how to answer this.  A bit more
detail, please?

About "from the setserial output: "Flags: spd_normal skip_test";
skip_test is usually set when there is a fake 16550 present; try without
this flag, and see if the uart gets tested ok.", I also need more detail
on exactly what to do.

roger@roger-desktop:~$ sudo lspci -vvvk|grep "IRQ 17"

        Interrupt: pin B routed to IRQ 17
