If your modem is internal and you've jumpered it for "COM2" have you disabled the *real* "COM2", i.e. the second serial port (via the BIOS) on your mobo? If not then it is probably that which is being found. Alternatively, you could try jumpering you modem as "COM3", IRQ5 0x3e8 and re-booting (you'll probably have to do ``boot -c'' and enable sio2 as it's disabled by default). When you've tried that, post he entire output of dmesg(8).
