External modems aren't "recognized". What is happening to you
is that your external serial port is not working or is not
properly set up. Start by going to the BIOS and making sure
your serial port is enabled on the proper i/o and irq. Generally
speaking, you want to use COM2 (cua1), on irq=3, and you
want to use a hard setting rather than "auto", and do not use
PNP. Different BIOSes will call these things by different names.
