Does "dmesg" report any recent action when you've just inserted the
card?
You could try and find the port with setserial:
for A in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 ; do
setserial -a /dev/ttyS${A}
done
(if it says "UART: unknown" then it probably isn't really there.)
The mapping to /dev/modem wouldn't normally happen, but you could
probably make udev do that. What kernel / Debian versions are you
running?
Cheers,
Andrew.
