Hopefully your modem doesn't need a power reset, as mine does after my ISP
does this. Try typing "echo atz > /dev/ttyS1" for com2. Just change the

ttyS0 - com1 ttyS1 - com2 ttyS2 - com3 ttyS3 - com4

The modules my still be in place. Try just copying the kernel image from
floppy. Check directory /lib/modules to see if they are there.
