Ooops, o.k.   But I know it does work on some types of modem cards.  It 
is a virtual serial port.  I wonder is this related to the fact that 
only one hcf modem can be installed at time?  Still one should find 
information about the modem on /proc/pci or in a distribution's hardware 
information utilities.  It should show up there or there's something 
wrong.
