Providing that you modem is not a winmodem,
then it would look like that you have told
Linux to use COM1 (ttyS1) and not COM2
(ttyS3). In SuSE you use yast to configure
the hardware but other distros will be
different. Try telling your distro to use
COM3 (ttyS3).
Part of the problem is that DOS/WINDOWS uses
COM0=Serial Port 1 and so on. This may have
caused your problems.
