Hi Leonardo, It only took about a week to figure out that your message below did in fact tell me exactly what I needed to know in order to get my pci modem working correctly. I was thrown by the memory address that /proc/pci showed. But once I realized I needed to put that in the /dev/serial.conf file rather than ttyS* I was fine. For some stupid reason on my part I didn't put in the correct IRQ, according to /proc/pci. So I connected but very slowly. Modem HOWTO, a great document, suggested this was due to an incorrect IRQ. When I then changed serial.conf to include the IRQ that /proc/pci showed my connection speeded up significantly.
Thanks to you, all the other debian list users who messaged me, and the Serial and Modem HOWTOs for helping me solve this problem.
