I think it means that BIOS is not configured for a com port on IRQ 5.

Don't see why. But you probably need to go into BIOS and set up the
modem there. I know how to do this on my system, but it's different
for every one. Hopefully yours is easier to set up than mine was! I
had to put the BIOS configuration utility onto a DOS disk and boot it
to do the job. (IBM system.)
