/_I wish it was that simple. When I changed the device tab setting to ttyS0 I still got the same response: "Sorry, the modem doesn't respond." I then messesd with the flow control and what happened was thus:

I would do 2 things:

1. Make sure the bios has the ports enabled.

2. upon reboot: 'dmesg | grep tty' Look thru the output of that
   and maybe you are looking at something a bit higher (/dev/ttyS1-5 ?)

If either of these do not work, go get a external modem and never worry
about these issues again. :-) I have always found the external modems
to just plain work.
