Some bioses will let you set any pnp device with no pnp os (linux)as non pnp device and you will get irq. So if you set in bios your os as non pnp then all you have to do is point your com port to irq used by your modem card there is howto on www.linux.org
Internal modem... If it is PnP, you will need isapnptools from sunsite. If it is a winmodem, give it up. I'm not aware of any winmodems that work with linux. If it is just a jumper setable modem, try going into minicom and seeing if you can get a response form the modem. Try using something like /dev/cua0, /dev/cua1 first... These are com ports 1 and 2.. If you know what com port it is on, just subtract 1 from that com port.. Example. Com 3 = /dev/cua2.. If you get a response. Then there isn't really anything you need to do, except for maybe symlinking /dev/modem to whatever cua#
