I just had to do this to get my modem working on my box.  If you have a 
pci modem, try this:

Here goes:
go to your terminal at /root and type lspci

this will list your pci devices by name.  Record the information for 
your modem.  The numbers in the front are your clues for your next command.

at root again type cat /proc/pci

that will give you the specifics like the irq and stuff.  Just use the 
information you wrote down from the first command to find the info you 
need after you type the second command.

After that type setserial /dev/ttyS3(note--your ttyS# may be different) 
UART 16550A Port (your port) IRQ (irq)

 From what I understand, modems are to be configured with uart 16550A.

To test, run kppp or wvdial and test it out.  It should work.  Just 
remember if you go to set up wvdial to associate /dev/modem with the 
port your modem is actually using.

If this works for you, let me know and I'll help you configure it where 
you don't have to retype the setserial command every time you reboot.

Good Luck!
