well heres the info:

PCI...
> Lucent Technologies Modem.....
it says the modem is located at ttyS14
i set it to that.....dialed out......NO DIAL-TONE 
plus i dont think its opening the port, cuz i dont hear that click-sound whenever it dials out in Windows
You could try connecting to your modem with Microcom and type
AT
and see if you get an
OK
back from the modem.
ok, i tried Microcom and it failed, so i downloaded wvDial...

Sorry, no modem was detected! Is it in use by another program?
Did you configure it properly with setserial?
