Look for sio lines in the output from "dmesg". dmesg | grep sio Read the part of the handbook on serial ports, terminals and modems. /usr/share/doc/handbook... The manual page for the sio device has lots of good info. Also a quick read of the interesting parts of /dev/MAKEDEV can be enlightening. Also note that you can just cat data to the device file and watch for flickering lights on the (external) modem.
