If you've installed KDE, you can use the the device tab in KPPP's account 
setup to query different serial devices.  It's worked for me in the past.

Also, make sure you have enough sio's.  I think the GENERIC kernel only 
creates 2; so if you have 2 hardware serial ports, a PCI modem won't show up.

I hope this helps,
