Hey Tania,
  Why don't you try '%cat /proc/pci | less' and see what
it reports about your modem. You will be able to find
the IRQ and IO. Then try linking it to COM 1-4,
/dev/ttyS0-3. Definetly use minicom to see what's going
on. And if it is indeed a WinModem that you are SOL.
They are completely incompatible with Linux. I hope that
this isn't the case for you.
HTH,
