I suspect it is an onboard serial or IR port, as is sio1. More reading of the ltmdm documentation might reveal how to discover what sio device node is associated with the winmodem when the module attaches. You'll then need to use the /dev/MAKEDEV script to create /dev entries for that sio node if you don't already have them. Or you could do like the rest of us and buy a pccard modem that doesn't suck. ;^) -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
