Check the IRQ value for the modem card.  Mine is also on TTYS2
(COM 3) where the default IRQ is 4, however the modem card
requires IRQ 5.  In /etc/init.d/serial uncomment the line
'run_setserial /dev/ttyS2 irq 5' which will initialise the port
on reboots.  Run /etc/init.d/serial from the command line to set
it up initially.
