Modem not recognized?

[Gary Parker <reverend@churchofbacon.org>]

I am running a new installation of Sid and can't seem to get the modem up.  
lspci -vv shows:
02:0a.0 Serial controller: 5610 56K FaxModem 56K FaxModem Model 5610 (rev 01)

There is a line from dmesg with the above port and irq:
ttyS14 at I/O 0xdfe0 (irq = 22) is a 16550A

However, there is no ttyS14 in /dev/.  Do I need to make it somehow?

I also have Fedora running on this computer.  It recognizes the modem fine. 
/dev/modem -> /dev/ttyS4

I tried setserial as follows:
setserial /dev/ttyS4 uart 16550A port 0xdfe0 irq 22 autoconfig
ln -sf /dev/ttyS4 /dev/modem

I followed this with "pppd call provider".  I don't believe it activated the 
modem.

Any thoughts as to how I might proceed?
