After installing your modem card, you need to configure your PPP interface to use the internal modem instead of an external modem, by choosing either COM3 or COM4 for your port in the serial settings section of the PPP configuration dialog.
If you use COM3, your card must be configured (via jumper; you should know what you're doing here) to use IRQ4. If you use COM4, your card must be configured to use IRQ3.
Once you have reconfigured your PPP interface, you will need to Restart Networking for your changes to take effect.
Note: If you used /dev/com3 for your modem, you cannot use the serial1 port (/dev/serial1) for anything else. If you used /dev/com4, you cannot use the serial2 port (/dev/serial2) .
Note: This should be obvious, but these instructions won't work in a Mac. The Mac doesn't have an ISA bus, so it's impossible to put an internal ISA modem into one...no matter how much you edit the settings file. ;-)
Good luck!
