Hopefully your modem is smart enough to have jumpers or dip switches
selecting COM port and IRQ. Selecting COM3 and IRQ5 should give you
this from setserial:
/dev/ttyS2 at 0x03e8 (irq = 5) is a [8250|16450|16550A]
There are couple of gotchas, though. Hopefully you won't run into
them...

Disk images, however, will probably compress. Get gzip.exe for
DOS to uncompress them and you'll be able to use 1.44 floppies.
I think nobody had "can't find misc.o" problems with 1.44 floppies
recently.
