since it's an internal modem: make sure you don't have an IRQ sharing
conflict between
this ISA modem and the onboard COM port(s). Either retool the ISA card
using setserial
(and perhaps jumpers) or disable the onboard COM port via the BIOS.
Carefully look at 
the output of
	dmesg | grep tty
and see if they make sense.
