Those messages mean that the kernel thinks it is detecting a serial=20
port (com port), but that the irq isn't what it's expecting.  You can=20
usually safely ignore those.  The important bit for you is that it=20
detects your modem at sio4, so you'll want use sio4 (or cuaa4) in=20
whatever document you are using to get dial-up working.

How are trying to get dial-up working?  ppp?

You'll probably want to have a look at the handbook (if you aren't=20
already).
