Depending on what kernel this is and how Corel distros play with IRQ's in general...

I had the same problem with my Supra under pretty much every Red Hat version I used, three total. The OS was assuming com1/irq4, com2/irq3, and com3/irq4. In PnP mode the Supra wants com3/irq5, so it didn't work.

If that's the case you could either jumper the modem to an IRQ that the OS will recognize, or change the default IRQ for the com port that it's installed on. I never tried it but I don't see why adding a setserial command with the IRQ you want at the end of your boot sequence (/etc/rc.d/rc.local) wouldn't work.

It'd look something like...

setserial /dev/ttys0 IRQ 5
