it means you have a standard
com1 and com2 serial device.
i don't know if you configured
your modem for com1 or com2,
so i can't say if it has
been detected.  if it is external,
then it will work by plugging into
you serial ports.  if it is internal,
you should disable any on-board com
ports in your bios that may conflict
with your modem setting.  it's good
to know a little about hardware when
messing around with UNIX.
