Ok..went in search of an external serial modem today...visited 6 computer shops...the first two guys laughed when I ask for an external serial modem...the next guy did not understand the question...the next two said they did not carry them and the last guy was very polite in his seedy little shop and had one us robotics v.92 serial external with no cable for 150 bucks....yes that's correct...I got it and lucky for me the cable from the sportster fits and I am online....the price of free-dom comes to mind...haha..not sure why the sportster will not work

I hope someday these modem manufacturers will get a clue and make modems for Linux.  I guess it is too late  but you might have better luck with modems from Lucent.  I have read some other posts in this forum about people getting them working right out of the box.  

My link to debian modem might be a little old because I don't think DSL has the setserial command.  This might have helped you because it almost sounded like an irq conflict if your modem would dial sometime.
