I just took a look at it, but it looked as though it was
completely on linmodems, which isn't what I'm trying to do,
since I have a PnP modem. I have, however, been reading
the howtos for PnP, modems, and serial ports, along with
the about.com PnP page, which seems extremely helpful so far.

I tried that and it didn't work. However, why would it
work? Supposedly ACT Y "activates" the device (I don't
know what that means).

I think that'll help, but here's a silly question:
According to setserial -g, I already have three serial
devices. How do I find out what they are? I don't have
a printer and, unless I've hooked them up without knowing
it, my PnP modem and PnP soundcard are still unkown to
the computer.
/dev/mouse is linked to ttyS0, but my mouse still works
even when I change that, so presumably that means that my
mouse is not a serial mouse.
How do I find out what ttyS1 and ttyS2 are?
Also, my modem has a sticker on the back that says com1.
Does that mean that it will only work through ttyS0?
