[ILUG] modem hell!

[John_White at dell.com]

you might want to run setserial <device> to see what UART it picks up for
each device. If it I believe it will report a 16450 UART on ports that 
a) have a 16450     or
b) have no device attached, 
   or it may report an unknown UART if no serial device is present.

If you go through all the ports and have a look at the UARTs reported,
you'll see which ones have a 16550 (most common today, and required on a
33.6 modem). This will also tell you what port your modem is commected to
(if the kernel picked up your serial port).

setserial /dev/ttyS0
setserial /dev/ttyS0
setserial /dev/ttyS0
