Is it a pci hardware modem?

Configuring a pci modem
To configure a pci modem, open an x terminal and su - to the root account:[phil@fancypiper phil]$ su -
Password:
[root@fancypiper root]# cat /proc/pciLook for your modem in the returned list. Look for something similar to mine: Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xef000000 [0xef0000ff].
Bus 2, device 2, function 0:
Communication controller: PCI device 151f:0000 (TOPIC SEMICONDUCTOR Corp) (rev 0).
IRQ 5.
I/O at 0xc400 [0xc407].With this info, I use the setserial command:[root@fancypiper root]# setserial /dev/ttyS2 irq 5 port 0xc400 uart 16550aThen I test the modem with the internet connection wizzard and it works. I edit /etc/rc.d/rc.local and enter the setserial command:[root@fancypiper root]# pico -w /etc/rc.d/rc.localMy file for an example#!/bin/sh
# Redhat /etc/rc.d/rc.local file
# This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts.
# You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't
# want to do the full Sys V style init stuff.

touch /var/lock/subsys/local
# configure modem
setserial /dev/ttyS2 irq 5 port 0xc400 uart 16550aNow, it remains configured after a reboot.
