Most high-speed internal modems come equipped with a 16550 UART.  If you 
use one of them, you don't need to upgrade the serial port.  Just be sure 
you set the modem up to avoid a conflict with your mouse, or something 
else you may want to use at the same time as your modem (i.e. if your 
mouse is on COM1, set the modem up as COM4, or disable the existing COM2 
and set it up there).
