Assuming you've got the psuedo-device tun compiled into your kernel 
(it's in GENERIC by default) you can use ppp(8):

$ ppp
ppp ON > set device /dev/cuaa0  [0 == com1, 1 == com2]
ppp ON > term
AT  <-- you type this
OK  <-- modem, if found, responds
See the MANUAL DIALLING section in ppp(8) for more info.

Yes there is some reason why the dmesg output does not work.

He has serial modem connected to com1 or com2 on his pc and the boot
process dmesg only shows that the sio ports are found on the
motherboard,
not what is externally connected to them. It's been that way since
day one.

Normally, you'd just check the dmesg output.
Is there some reason that won't work for you?
