Does it have jumpers on it?
If it doesn't, you're in for a hard time.
First step would be to check and see if you have a PNP BIOS. If yes, change the setting in your BIOS that asks whether you have a PNP Operating System to "No". You can then look in Windows to see what COM port the modem is on. Check out this page: www.linux.ncsu.edu (http://www.linux.ncsu.edu)
in the HOW-TO's section. Look at the Modem how-to and the PNP how-to. This can be an extremely long drawn out process if you don't have jumpers.
If you have jumpers, Set the modem to COM3 IRQ4, then type:
rm /dev/modem
ln -s /dev/ttyS2 /dev/modem
This will link your modem to the COM3 equivalent on Linux. Make sure you the proper Init strings set and you should be good to go.
