Yes, but I've found that it's not that uncommon to have internal modems (hardware ones in my case), assigned to non-standard ports. For example, my server has a U.S. Robotics internal 56k hardware modem, which is assigned to /dev/ttyS4. When this machine was running windows, the modem got com5, although I only have ttyS0/ttyS1/com1/com2 in this box on-board. I also got hold of an old box a few weeks ago which has an internal sportster 33.6k hardware modem. The modem gets ttyS1/com2, and the 2 on-board ports get ttyS0 and ttyS2 respectively.
