Actually, before I saw David's idea, I tried a suggestion I got via email.. "use
setserial with the spd_vhi setting". Well, I changed the /dev/modem link to point to
/dev/ttyS1 (which should cover the above idea) and used setserial to set spd_vhi +
sort out a couple of other settings.

Anyway, it still doesn't work (no response to AT commands in minicom even) and below
are how the devices settings are reported:

---start------------------------------------------
Script started on Tue Mar  3 01:29:29 1998
[root@localhost tmp]# setserial -a /dev/modem
/dev/modem, Line 1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x02f8, IRQ: 3
 Baud_base: 115200, close_delay: 50, divisor: 0
 closing_wait: 3000, closing_wait2: infinte
 Flags: spd_vhi skip_test

[root@localhost tmp]# ls -l /dev/modem
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           10 Mar  2 23:59 /dev/modem -> /dev/ttyS1
---end----------------------------------------
(and by the way, /proc/interrupts didn't indicate anything was using int.3)

I think there's maybe something extra I have to configure to recognise the modem
card, though I dunno what or how I'd set it up..

???
