There seems to be some fundamental confusion, here. To talk to a modem
on a serial port, all the OS has to do is be able to see the serial
port. (The complications come from "winmodems", which omit key
circuitry that must be emulated by special software to function like a
real modem.)
Your Zoltrix's serial port _might_ pose the complication of being "ISA
Plug and Play", which makes it slightly more difficult for the kernel to
known which IRQ and I/O base address to find the serial port on. If so,
you might be able to remove that obstacle by jumpering the PnP mode
_off_. Otherwise, you'll have to get to know the isapnptools.
Aside from that, it's really just a question of making the kernel see
the hardwired serial port, and then testing that by firing up minicom,
making sure it's talking to the correct port, and getting an echo when
you type "ATE1" or such.
