The ttySes from ttyS0 to ttyS(some high number) already

In my case:
the base address was 0xe400 and the IRQ was 10, so I entered

setserial /dev/ttyS3 uart 16550A port 0xe400 irq 10

It didn't work :-(

In my case (from the laptop):

Problem:
It doesn't work.
Boot knoppix (runlevel 2 only since I have only 16MB ram)
and run minicom - no joy.
knoppix automagically finds the modem and calls it ttyS4.

Any clues anyone? Should I call it broken and get my money
back? I'm beginning to suspect it may be broken, since I
have diligently followed all steps to make it work.

Could the problem be due to the fact that the base i/o
address is 0xe400?

Any pointers in the right direction much appreciated.
