IRQ 10 is not the normal IRQ for ttyS2, so a call to ttyS2 won't connect to
a modem at that IRQ. If the modem is in this location under Linux -- a big
if, unless you are using isapnp to set it; if you aren't, I can't begin to
guess where it might decide to put itself -- you need to use setserial to
point a ttyS* device at it. For example
setserial /dev/ttyS2 irq 10
will do (ttyS2 already has the right IO address).
But don't count on this working, unless you've taken care of initializing
the modem with isapnp.
