Is it a USR Winmodem ?? USR made a product line called Winmodem that will ONLY work under windows because they took some code that had previously been burned into EEPROM (or Flash) and put it in a file on the disk. If your modem is a Winmodem, you can't use it with ANY other OS, not OS/2, not Linux, not FreeBSD. Also, be aware that COM1 would be sio0 (or cuaa0 for ppp). I don't know if it really matters if you use sio0 or cuaa0 devices. I think they're just synonyms really.
