If you can boot to DOS you don't even need Telix, just type "echo atdt
xxxx >> comx " in the prompt and the modem should start dialing.
(or atdp if you use pulse dialing over there).
 
This may even work under Unix.

Maybe test it at the bare-bones level - boot it from a DOS floppy
bootdisk and run an old terminal software such as Telix and see if you
can operate the modem from there.  

(Boy, isnt that bringing back memories from the BBS days!)

        The software vendor whose software is installed on the server
are telling me they believe the serial port is not working.

        It has an external USR 56k modem on the serial port, and has
been working fine for 4 years. 
        I swapped out the modem with 3 other idnetical modems and they
all come up with the same error message in the software application:

        Yam: Error 32:  No port selected 

        So my question is.... How can I test the serial port on this
UNIX server to verify that it is working correct? 

        Thanks so much.
