David,

I ran across this in the newsgroups:

1) Start with pnpdump redirecting the output to /etc/isapnp.conf
2) Edit isapnp.conf and see if your modem was detected by pnpdump, if
not, 
figure out why.
3) edit isapnp.conf and pick an i/o - irq combination that works for
your 
particular setup (it varies).  Generally, if you have COM1 on your MB
enabled 
and don't need COM2, then disable COM2 in the bios and set the PnP modem
for 
i/o 2F8 at irq 3
4) run isapnp and look at any error messages.  Be aware that if your
bios had 
already configured the modem at the same i/o - irq  space that you
specified 
in isapnp.conf, then running isapnp isnt doing anything, but it's not
hurting 
either.  Some bios's have the ability to "set PnP OS" to either Yes/No. 
Set 
it to NO and then the card should be detected by isapnp.
5) set the symbolic link '/dev/modem' to point to the serial device you
chose 
in isapnp.conf. If you chose 3F8/4 (COM1) then /dev/ttyS0, 2F8/3 then 
/dev/ttyS1, etc.  To set symbolic link for ttyS1 (for example)
# ln -s /dev/ttyS1 /dev/modem
will do the trick
6) use minicom to test out your modem.
