Is there already an on-board serial port on sio0? You might want to move your modem to sio1 in that case. _Something_ is being detected at the irq/port you have assigned to the modem, but it might not be what you think. On my creaky old 486, even with port serial ports disabled in the BIOS setup, my PnP modem had to be on sio2 before it would work.
