Hello,
It's a plug&play modem, hence you must appropriately configure it.
You can explicitly state the resources which the modem will use by configuring
several jumpers located on the modem board. If you don't wish to physically
trifle with your hardware then checkout isapnp (This applies only if you're
using the 2.2 kernel, 2.4 has builtin isapnp support.)
Beyond that, just man pnpdump; man isapnp;
When using 2.4, the contents of /proc/isapnp should divulge the appropriate
information.
If you require more information please feel free to contact me.
Regards, Yotam Rubin
P.S.: /dev/modem is only a symlink to the modem device (e.g. ttyS0, ttyS1...)
