Well, a couple of things. Firstly, a port at 0x3f8 is generally COM1 under DOS/Windows, which is /dev/ttyS0 on Linux. Also, since you have disabled PnP in your BIOS, you need to use isapnptools to configure the modem under Linux. Although you have turned off PnP in the BIOS, Win95 will still use PnP to configure the modem. Or jumper the modem as non-PnP if that's possible; might be more convenient.
