Are you sure this is the exact modem covered by this driver. Check the
model number at linmodems.org.

I have a modem which is covered by this driver and here is the relevant startup
info:

from $>cat /proc/pci

PCI devices found:
    Communication controller: PCI device 8086:1040 (Intel Corp.) (rev 0).
      IRQ 5.
      Master Capable. Latency=32.
      Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xda000000 [0xda3fffff].

from $>dmesg

hamcore module init
ham: loading 536EP Release 4.51 INT (kern:2.4.20-rc3) - Nov 26 2002
PCI: Found IRQ 5 for device 00:0a.0
ham: IRQ: 5, DSP-Base: 0xda000000 (phys) 0xe09b2000 (virt) (range: 4096k), DSP-Port: 0x0 (range: 0b)
