Once the device is configured to a known location, either by
your BIOS or by isapnptools, then it should work. What is
the problem exactly when you try to use the modem? If
the port doesn't seem to exist to Linux you might need to
uncomment some parts of /etc/rc.boot/0setserial which
from memory only enables the first two ports by default.
I had a PnP modem working here while testing it, using
isapnptools.
