I dont have a PnP modem, so theres possably more to your problem than i can
explain, however normaly speaking there should be a link in the
/dev directory for "modem" and it should be linked to the comm port you
intend to use.
For example to use comm 2 or /dev/ttyS1 as its called;
ls -al /dev/modem should show;
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Oct 17 11:05 /dev/modem -> /dev/ttyS1
If not to link the two together use;
cd /dev
ln -s ttyS1 modem
You will possably need to get the isapnptools one URL is;
http://www.roestock.demon.co.uk/isapnptools
On the otherhand, your minicom configuration may not be correct, start
minicom with the -s option to configure.
If your modem is a so called "WinModem" then hard luck, there is no support
for Micky$oft modems under linux at the presant time and there possably will
never be.
Other sources of information are.
/usr/doc/HOWTO/Serial-HOWTO.gz
/usr/doc/HOWTO/PPP-HOWTO.gz
If you dont have the HOWTOs installed then this URL might still be valid.

Hope this helps.
