Assuming you have two real serial ports and no other modems,
it would probably be best to go for COM3 (0x3E8), on an IRQ
of your choice other than 3 or 4; 5 or 2 would be fine
(depending on what other hardware you have; your sound card might
take 5 and you VGA card might use 2/9).
Once you have enabled it in the configuration file, Debian's
serial setup script (/etc/rc.boot/0setserial) should find the port
and configure it automatically.
