Are you sure you need to? I'm sending this over my modem...
(Mine's external though...)
com1 should be /dev/ttyS0
Try talking to it using minicom.
su to root and then
rm /dev/modem # This is just a symbolic link
ln -s /dev/ttyS0 /dev/modem
mincom
In minicom, type atdt012431453 and see if it dials...
If so, you don't need to fiddle with irqs. If you get no response, you may
well have to...
If you really want to play with your IRQs, serial ports etc, try
setserial (man setserial), but I have never needed to (external
modem).
Tom.
