Read the NAG - _Network Administrator's Guide_, and the Modem HOWTO.

I'd probably jumper the modem for COM3/IRQ4.

Hunt and poke through minicom until you can raise it.  "ATH1" is a good
test string -- should bring up a dial tone.  Find the applicable Hayes
command set for your modem, you're going to want to enable and crank up
the speaker, as that's about the only diagnostic tool you've got.
