Thanks for all the comments! I've got the modem working, by using
/dev/ttyS3.

What is "cardbus" / How do I tell whether I have cardbus? Is this a
property of the Laptop, or the Xircom card, or both?
My card seems to be working now, but the "hot swap" doesn't work.
That is, to get the card recognized I need to do a
"/etc/init.d/pcmcia restart".

Thanks for that! It's a great tip!!! How did you find out about that?
Cheers,
