Hi, There's a file in /etc/sysconfig that you can edit, I have my modules loading at boot too :) Beware- your distro may have other ways of letting you do this through a GUI or so, but I chose the sysconfig method since it is fairly universal across distros. Edit /etc/sysconfig/kernel and find the line MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT and add "agrmodem agrserial" to the line (mine is MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT="agrmodem agrserial". Restart your machine and they will be automatically loaded, you can then point your dialler to /dev/ttyAGS3.
