Hi Raymond,
is it an external modem connected to COM1? That port
is supposed to use IRQ 4, not IRQ 3 (which is for COM2=/dev/ttyS1).

You might also try to use setserial like this:
setserial -b /dev/ttyS0 auto_irq skip_test autoconfig session_lockout

To add/drop options, see the man page.


If you have an _internal_ modem configured with jumpers to react
to COM1, IRQ3... again, it is better to use standard COM1-IRQ4,
although this is up to you. 
If you experience the error message configuring an internal modem and if 
you are sure it is jumper-configured the same way as you tell setserial, 
this might mean you've got a winmodem... 
Look up http://www.o2.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html 

Best,
a.
