I have a US Robotics USR5699B PCI modem and I am trying to get it
installed under Debian Woody.  According to Windows, it is installed
on COM5, IRQ 11.
Under Debian, I had to create the com port as ttyS5, then use
setserial /dev/ttyS5 irq 11.  Then I tried using wvdial and that does
not work, apparently it does not recognize the port.  I don't remember
the exact error messages.  Since I am using KDE, I tried using kppp,
but kpp does not give the choice of /dev/ttyS5.
1.  Will this modem work under Debian or am I wasting my time?

According to these pages, assuming the model number is a match, it 
doesn't look promising:
