Is it a USR Winmodem ??

USR made a product line called Winmodem that will ONLY work under
windows because they took some code that had previously been burned
into EEPROM (or Flash) and put it in a file on the disk.  If your modem
is a Winmodem, you can't use it with ANY other OS, not OS/2, not Linux,
not FreeBSD.

Also, be aware that COM1 would be sio0 (or cuaa0 for ppp).  I don't
know if it really matters if you use sio0 or cuaa0 devices.  I think
they're just synonyms really.
