My modem is a Best Data v.92 serial modem, 56SX92, believed to be not a
softmodem. I don't see it in this this report, just going thru the
steps to get it working. At this juncture it works on winxp, but on
Linux thus far I get only the PWR and DATA lights showing, doesn't dial,
there are signs that it's on ttyS1. thank you

Please provide any independent information available on your modem.
If your modem is mounted on an ISA card, scanModem could not access it.
If an alternative boot into Microsoft windows can be done, do mouse
clicks on:
Start > Settings > Control Panel > Classical View (for Window XP) > System
> Hardware > Device Manager > Modems > Click on the + > Modem. Double click to
expand the graphic. Manufacturer information may be displayed. For example, CXT
stands for Conexant. Click the Diagnostics Tab. Record any hardware ID or vendor
and device information.
Next do the Query Modem and record the ATI specifications displayed such as:
ATI3 - Agere SoftModem Version 2.1.22
ATI5 - 2.1.22, AMR Intel MB, AC97 ID:SIL REV:0x27
Try to identify the modem setup file, with name perhaps MODEM.INF.
If may contain chipset Vendor informaton.
