It has been many years......  Using the setserial command you can set the 
serial port to anything you want whether there is a device connected to it or 
not.  Is the modem configured as a PNP or did you set the jumpers on the 
modem for a specific setting?  It feels to me this is a kernel module issue.

Do you have a /etc/modules.conf file?  Something like; 
alias ppp0 ppp_generic

If the modem is set to PNP.  How about isapnptools and /etc/isapnp.conf, do 
you have these installed?  I always used manual configuration on my ISA 
modems.
 
Reboot the thing and fire up minicom and see if it can see the modem.  I used 
to use minicom to get the modem configured and working back in the old days.
