OK, we're getting somewhere. More questions -

1. What happens when you run kppp and select ttyS04 as the device? Does the
modem dial?

2. (and someone please correct if I've got this wrong) What is /dev/modem linked
to? Try ls -l /dev/modem to see what that's actually pointing to.

3. The output of lspci -vv should give you the model number of the US Robotics
modem so you can google for further info. Or call your friend who built the box.
