I am by no means an expert, but I just installed my pcmcia modem, and it
worked for me right out of the box.
I think your tty00 statement is an external serial port. I get something
like it too. Then after that, I see the cardmgr startup, the sockets are
probed, and upon identifying my modem, it executes
insmod /lib/modules/preferred/pcmcia/serial_cs.o
then I get a line like your tty00 line, but for tty01, and then it executes
./serial start ttyS1
my /dev/modem is a sym link to /dev/cua1. Whatever you use will need be a
/dev/cua*
it looks to me like the serial script uses the serial.opts /dev/modem
setting to create the necessary sym link dynamically during the call I
mention above, and other actions it can do.
have you tried the /sbin/cardctl command?

>Howdy all....I am trying to setup a pcmcia modem for the first time ever. And I am having
some trouble. I have read through the PCMCIA-HOWTO but have had know luck
with their suggestions. When I first boot my laptop, I get a tty00 0x03f8
(IRQ 4)
>16550A , statement. Can I assume that this is finding my pcmcia card, or is that the external
serial port for the laptop. I have tried using tty00 but the device does
not exist in my /dev/ dir. My serial.opts file is setup to name the device
>/dev/modem but that device does not exist either. Is there something I am missing here....let
me know if you need any more information. Thanks,
