Winmodem homepage (just in case):

You might need to compile your own kernel to support > 4 serial ports.
It'd be under character devices (or some such).
lspci should be able to tell you what it thinks is on your PCI bus. I
imagine it should identify your modem (it may not recognize it though).
But perhaps maybe, Linux already will identify one of your serial ports
with this modem (Have you tried all four already?). You should maybe
try running 'setserial /dev/ttyS[0-3]' and see what it says. After all,
my modem's an ISA and the ISA is bridged to the PCI bus; setserial reports
/dev/ttyS1 for the modem. So...
