Minicom problem

You mentioned you have a /dev/ttyS4. Are you certain that is the
modem? Can you do:

echo ata >/dev/ttyS4

and hear the dial tone?

PS: If you do get the dial tone, you'll probably want to follow
up right away with:

echo ath >/dev/ttyS4

If this command doesn't give you a dial tone, minicom isn't going
to help you.
