Find out which IRQ and I/O ports the PCI Real Modem is using with "cat
/proc/interrupts /proc/ioports", then use setserial to set /dev/ttyS2
(COM3) to that IRQ and I/O port. "man setserial" for details, though
that might be information overload for a newbie. You need to point your
kppp at /dev/ttyS2 or rm /dev/modem and make /dev/modem a symlink to
/dev/ttyS2 . I used to know exactly how to do everything with setserial
and modems, but I got a cablemodem ~3 years ago....

Yeah, it's serial.o in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/
somewhere. It should be automagically modprobed when you do anything to
any of the /dev/ttyS? devices.

Yuck. Makes you want to kick your local evil incompetent telco
monopoly, doesn't it?
