  One booby-trap I've run into is that, on my machine at least, a PCI
modem must be ttyS4 or higher.  I find that I *MUST* set the following
in "make menuconfig"...

Device Drivers  --->
  Character devices  --->
    Serial drivers  --->
      (5)   Maximum number of 8250/16550 serial ports

  The PCI modem can't use the first 4 ports (DOS COM1: through COM4:),
so I have to set the driver to allocate at least 5 serial port numbers.
