You should boot your computer with your PCMCIA modem card inserted,
and then type at the prompt :
ls -l /dev/modem
to see which device /dev/modem is pointing to. That should give you what you're
looking for, since at boot time, if the modem card is inserted, a /dev/modem
symbolic link seems to be automatically created that is pointing to the proper
device.
At least it worked for me when I was running redhat 5.2 on my Toshiba
Satellite 4000 CDS( I upgraded now to 6.0 where things seem to be more
plug-and-play).
Hope this will help.
Cheers,
Denis
