I have a number of these. The modem is indeed identified as
uart2: <Non-standard ns8250 class UART with FIFOs> port 0xe500-0xe507 irq 10 at device 14.0 on pci0
uart2: [FILTER]
uart2@pci0:0:14:0: class=0x070002 card=0x00d312b9 chip=0x100812b9 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
vendor = '3COM Corp, Modem Division (Formerly US Robotics)'
device = 'USR5610B (0005610-02) 56K Performance Pro Modem (PCI Internal) (USR5610B)'
class = simple comms
subclass = UART
cap 01[dc] = powerspec 2 supports D0 D2 D3 current D0
But other than that, it seems to work just fine for my setup which is dial backup for a pppoe site. Can you post details of your ppp.conf setup and the steps needed to illustrate the problem ?
