I still need /dev/ttyS1 to work, since that's where my modem is connected, so disabling serial support altogether isn't really an option.
Feed the serial driver the io address and irq of com2 as com1 or something equally odd, then call it ttyS0. I forget how, sorry, but I'm sure I've done similar things in the past to get an internal ISA modem working.
I just have been watching this thread for the last couple of hours and boy, you guys are making me reliving my past where I tried to get my ISA modem to work (It took me around 30 mins to a hour to get the damn thing to work). Setserial should help you out here.
However, my ISA modem I believe got jumpers on it (would you believe that.. on a 56k modem?). So it is a matter of telling to switch to the right IRQ channel etc. I always fire up minicom in order to see 'AT' working (and manually typing AT to see if it returns).
Modems are the _worse_ hardwares ever invented. Thank god we're moving onto ADSL nowadays.
