did the modules load successfully? I have only used 1 system that
used the lt_modem/lt_serial drivers and I had to use isapnp to get
it working(it was an ISA device on that laptop, most of them are PCI),
in my case I believe the driver automatically mapped itself to one
of the serial ports

try

setserial /dev/ttyS0

(repeat for ttyS1, ttyS2, ttyS3)

and see what it says, the best clue is the UART it detects, if it
says UNKNOWN then it doesn't detect a port there(most likely), also
try specifying i/o and irq addresses for the modules and using setserial
to hard configure a port for the addresses you specify(be sure they
are not in use by checking /proc/interrupts and /proc/ioports)
