Actually, he did say it was an external USR modem, so that's going to
use an existing serial port.

The only one listed in the setserial * list was:

Which would be COM1 in DOS terms. Looks sensible to me.

So, minicom should be able to talk to the modem using device ttyS0, and
I'd try 38400 baud first. It might be worth a check of /etc/inittab to
make sure the system hasn't been reconfigured to have a getty running on
the serial port - that might prevent minicom from opening the port.
