Well, due to old habits I usually round up a DOS boot disk and try
something like this:
ECHO ATX0 > COM3
ECHO ATDT123456789 > COM3
If a modem actually exists at COM3 these two commands will make the
modem go off-hook, ignore dialtone, and dial "123456789". You probably
don't want a phone line connected for this test :)
I suppose you could do the same test within linux:
echo atx0 > /dev/ttyS2
echo atdt123456789 > /dev/ttyS2
However, since setserial didn't do much for you I'd guess you're
screwed.
