This thread is getting long and ... well, thready, so it might be helpful
if, in your next message, you posted a terse summary of what your hardware
setup is. Also remind us of what distribution and version of Linux you are
using, and what kernel version ("uname -a").
Do you have other serial ports in the system? Either an add-in card or on
the motherboard? If you do, likely you already have a "Comm1" -- that is, a
serial port using IRQ 4 and io address 0x3F8. If so, it will conflict with
the modem on that same IRQ/io.
If you don't have other serial ports, it is unlikely that anything else is
using that IRQ/io pair. Some Ethernet cards use IRQ 3, which conflicts with
COM2 (ttyS1), but IRQ 4 is almost always a serial device.
