Are you sure it's found on startup?  Check dmesg.  If it isn't and it's a
internal modem and Plug&Pray compatible, try compiling a kernel with

controller pnp0

and after rebooting with the new kernel run `pnpinfo'.  Grab the device ID
out of the output for the modem and plug it into the table in
/sys/i386/isa/sio.c.  Look around line 2100 for the table or look for
`Supra1201'.  Rebuild the kernel again (no config necessary), install,
reboot, and your modem should show up.

That is going to become a FAQ item real quick :)
