If you mean COM1 (under DOS or WinXX) when you say "Comport 1", then you
shouldn't need to do anything with setserial. /dev/ttyS0 is set up (on every
Linux system I've ever seen) to use the same IRQ and IO base as COM1.
If you want to check whether the modem is detected there, you can use
setserial to do that. Just enter
setserial /dev/ttyS0
and see if the response includes a valid UART type. If it does, setserial
has found your modem where you think it is; if it doesn't, setserial hasn't
found it there. In the second case, typing things into setserial won't help
you; you need to figure out where your modem really is (or, perhaps, if it
is an HSP modem ("Winmodem") that Linux cannot use). Without more detail
about your modem, I can't help there, but you can look it up yourself on the
list at http://www.o2.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html .
