_IF_ the modem isn't a winmodem, you should be able to:
cd /dev
ln -s ttyS3 modem
Then edit /etc/rc.d/rc.local and add this to the bottom:
setserial /dev/ttyS3 irq 10
That'll automatically setup the IRQ at boot-time.
Go ahead and give it a try at the command prompt and see if the modem
works!
Good luck!
