External? As in "it is outside the computers and connetst to it with an
serial-cable"?
It must work AFAIK. The only think I can think of which would lead to "not
recognising" such a modem is that you are using a wrong port to access it.
Take a minicom, and let it "initialize tha modem" on various ports
(/dev/ttyS0, /dev/tty<S1...) - as soon as your modem returns an "OK", you
have the right port, and you KNOW that your modem is answering.
