Does the same machine boot Win9x? If so you can go into the device manager in
the control panel there and see what's in use, or better, what the current one
is using.
Else, if there is a modem allready connected to your machine, you may be able
to look at the jumpers on the card, to determine which port is being used
(unless it's a PnP modem).
Finally, you could try the setserial command from a command line in Linux, but
you will have to run it on each of the four (I think) COM ports available. Read
the setserial man page for more information on using the command. I did learn
that to exit the setserial display, you use the CTRL+C key combo. There may
also be a HOWTO for setserial.
