Hey congrats on fixing the "first" problem...
1) Since Linux cannot share IRQ's, you are best off, disabling any existing
COM2 port on your computer. Then set the modem up as COM2 according to the
directions.
2) Make sure the switches are set to the factory defaults.
3) Make a link using either the GUI tools or do it manually with...
"ln -s /dev/cua1 /dev/modem"
If you get a "file exists" message type
"rm /dev/modem" and try again.
4) The setserial command is probably failing because /dev/modem does not
exist. /dev/modem is a "soft" or "symbolic" link to the REAL modem port. It
has to be set up.
5) Check to see that the link exists by typing
"ls -l /dev/modem"
You should see something like
"/dev/modem --> /dev/cua1"
If you do (and have set the modem to COM2), bring up minicom.
You should be able to type "ATZ" and get an "OK" back from the modem.
